named after General George S. Patton. The first M48s were produced from 1952 to
1959, but the Vietnam-era A3 was a modernized and refurbished variant that
first rolled out in February 1963. It had a supercharged diesel instead of a
gasoline engine and an enhanced fire control system. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Patton tanks
were in most of the war's major actions, serving with the Marines and three
U.S. Army tank battalions and with Army armored cavalry squadrons until
replaced by M551 Sheridan light tanks. As U.S. forces began to depart in 1970,
they turned their M48s over to the South Vietnamese.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although designed to combat massed Soviet armored
formations, the Patton was an invaluable weapon for infantry support and
defending firebases. It is generally considered superior to the T-54/55 and
T-59 tanks the NVA deployed south in 1972 and later. The newer M60 replaced the
Patton in regular U.S. Army and Marine units after the war, but the M48
remained in service with most American allies and its reserve units well into
the 1990s.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
