Patrol vessel of the United States Navy
USS "Taurus" (PHM-3) was the third ship of her class of hydrofoils operated by the United States Navy. "Pegasus" class vessels were designed for high speed and mobility, and carried a powerful (for their size) armament. The ship was named for the constellation Taurus.
In November 1972, The United States, Germany and Italy signed a Memorandum of Understanding to share the cost of the development of a Patrol Missile Hydrofoil. This brought about the building of the "Pegasus" class . The "Taurus" was the first production model.
