The Hayabusa class guided missile patrol boats were built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF). Six boats were commissioned in to the JMSDF between 2002 and 2004.
The Hayabusa class has been developed as a replacement to the PG 1-go class hydrofoil missile boats. The first two boats were approved under the FY99 budget, the second and third pair under FY00 and FY01 budgets respectively
.
Propulsion
The Hayabusa class is powered by 3-axis gas turbine propulsion system. It consists of three LM500-G07 gas turbine engines driving three water jets. The gas turbine engines were built by Ishikawajima-Harima (now IHI Corporation) under licence from General Electric.
Each engine is independently connected to the nozzle of one water jet. The propulsion system developing a total power of 16,200shp provides a maximum speed of 44kt.
