De PTF-17 Patrouille Torpedo Snelle Boot was one of the 20 Nasty-class patrol boats that were built for the United States Navy in the 1960s. These boats were designed for covert operations during the Vietnam War, and were capable of reaching speeds of 38 knots (70 km/h) and carrying a variety of weapons, including torpedoes, machine guns and mortars. The PTF-17 was one of the six boats that were built under licence by Trumpy of Annapolis, Maryland, and was delivered in 1967. The boat saw action along the coast of North Vietnam, where it was employed by the special forces for clandestine missions. The boat survived the war and was decommissioned in 1981. It is now on display at the Buffalo Naval Park in New York.
