Those are just some of the tanks used in World War II. I'm not kidding when I say over 100 types were used, although some more than others.
US Tanks are named after US Generals (with some exceptions, such as US Civil War Confederate Generals)*. US Army Helicopters are named after US Indian Tribes (with the exception of the Vietnam War COBRA Attack Helicopter); During War II, US Battleships were named after US States; US Cruisers were named after US Cities, and US Destroyers were named after US Sailors/Marines killed in action. During the Korean War (1950-1953), the M-26 Pershing was slightly modified and re-named the M-46 PATTON tank, and fought during the Korean War. The M-46 became the FIRST of the "Patton Series" tanks: M-46 Patton, M-47 Patton, M-48 Patton, and the M-60 Patton tank. The M-47 Patton NEVER saw action with US Forces. The M-48 Patton fought in the Vietnam War. The M-60 Patton deployed to Desert Storm with the US Marines in 1991; but was largely overshadowed by the US Army's M-1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. * How the naming of American tanks came about. Up until the end of the Second World War the US military did not officially name its tanks, instead reffering to them by their type and designation, eg Medium Tank M3, Light Tank M3, Combat Car M2, etc. This policy began to change during WW2 when the Lend-Lease program saw thousands of tanks released to Britain and it became British policy to name all American Lend-Lease tanks after American Civil War generals. The first such was the Light Tank M3 which was allocated the name 'Stuart' (after Confederate cavalry general J.E.B "Jeb" Stuart). The next was the variant of the Medium Tank M3 developed for British use (which had an enlarged turret for the 37mm gun and bustle-mounted radio) which was allocated the name 'Grant'; the American version of the M3 (with the original smaller two-tier turret) was also used by Britain with the name 'Lee'. The most well-known American tank to see British service was of course the 'Sherman'. By the time this vehicle entered service the "type" part of the type-designation had been dropped from American official use, so rather than being the Medium Tank M4 it was simply the M4. Throughout the war none of these vehicles when used by US forces had official names. However by the time of the arrival of the M24 and M26 in North-west Europe in 1945 the British names for their US tanks names had begun to achieve widespread unofficial use within the US ground forces; in the case of these two (light and heavy) tanks respectively being 'Chaffee' and 'Pershing' even though these names do not appear to have been used in official US documentation at the time nor do they seem to have been allocated by the British War Office.
There were many US tanks but nobody knows how many exactly.
20.000+ base on wikipedia
WWII thru Vietnam was 5 tanks per platoon. 3 tanks led by the LT was the heavy section, 2 tanks led by the platoon sergeant was the light section. After Vietnam, everything changed.
Only about 1,300 Tiger tanks were manufactured. In contrast the US built 88,000 Sherman tanks, and relied on vast numerical superiority to offset the tremendous qualitative edge enjoyed by the Tiger and Panther tanks of Germany.
The USA was doing great during the war until the British tanks came along. From there we were in trouble. They bombed us and cut through our barbed wire and even destroyed our trenches. So we got flame throwers and realized they were able to destroy the tanks. So eventually we used tanks and flamethrowers and all that stuff and won the war.
Britain, Germany and France all used tanks in WW1. The British had them first and had the most.
Ford, was open in world war two. The U.S auto market thrived around that time and the auto companys provided engines for the U.S tanks, and planes.
many
About 88,000 tanks. After America decided to get involved in the war, the manufacturing of the US was kicked into high gear.
yes,but for trade
Who makes the US tanks. Fighting planes and. War ships

The United States active tank fleet stands at more than 2,400. During World War 2, the US employed a total of roughly fifty thousand tanks, more than half of which were the ever famous Shermans.

The invention of the tanks and the coming of the US reinforcements.
After WW1; the US entered WW in 1917...it ended in 1918. The US built copies of the British MK1's and the French Renault after the war. The Renault became the standard model for US tanks, called the Model 1917 tank.

There are several disadvantages to the US entering World War II. The most serious concerns were that there would be many casualties and that the economic cost of the war would be enormous.
