Mk3iain Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi All Can anyone give an idea what this is, located on or near the recently found USS Nevada. Not easy with just the hull bottom showing.. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently 4 tanks were placed on the ship for the A bomb test and its thought to be a Chaffee or Pershing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 It is Definitely a M26 Pershing ! Chaffies have 5 vs. 6 road wheels and completely different track. Shermans do not have torsion bar suspension or the outer edges of the belly at an angle or the double pronged guide horns to the track. M46 is very similar underneath but has the sprockets set higher in the hull. David 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
