The USS Tucumcari is a American motor gun boat. It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X" as part of the fleet closed beta test.
The Patrol Gunboat Hydrofoil Tucumcari (PGH-2) was built for operation by the Navy at a cost of $4 million by Boeing with subcontractor. She was unique at the time by using water-jet propulsion instead of a propeller in water, the water intake being at the base of the rear foils, pushed though a jet turbine engine powered pump, and exiting under the hull. When in shallow water or coming to port, the three hydrofoils would fold up and a small engine powered propeller with be used for manoeuvring. She was the basis for the Sparviero-class and PG 02 hydrofoil patrol boats.
Armament is typical of PT boats, being common 40 mm Bofors and Browning machine guns.
