The prototype is tried in 1951. After four years of testing began to emerge in the arsenal of the US. army. The series were so small that I couldn't form a separate unit of heavy tanks. Have been incorporated into the state of the medium tanks, and part was assigned to the marine corps. The tower and the hull are cast from cast steel as for the tanks M48. The rear part of the tower with the hatchway and anti-aircraft machine gun creates a counterweight to the cannon caliber 120 mm. The long barrel is smooth and finished off with a muzzle brake. Weaknesses: little mobility in conjunction with a large weight and the engine on a higher octane gas..
