The first fourteen 80 foot, Patrol Torpedo Fast boats (PTF) - Nasty Class - were built in Norway, based upon their Tjeld Class Motor Torpedo Boats. The hybrid type-name "Fast Patrol Torpedo Boat", "PTF" surfaced.

Another 6 were built as virtual copies under license to fulfill our needs in Vietnam (PTF-17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22). Those 6 were built by John Trumpy and Sons in Annapolis MD in 1967-68 and are sometimes called "Trumpy's" or sometimes "PTF-17 Class" or sometimes even "Nasty's", depending upon the document.
