Is the m60 Patton tank still in use?
Wikipedia and civilian firms call it that, but there never was such a tank. The US Army's official name for this tank is the M60 Combat Tank, it was the US Army's first semi-official MBT (Main Battle Tank) and was fielded in 1960 (hence the nomenclature). The US Army WANTED to name the M60 the MBT officially, but the paper-work was already processed, and it was more important to get the machine fielded than delaying that process by "fighting over names" so the army just left things as they were...a Combat Tank. The LAST PATTON tank was the 90mm Gun M48 Patton tank. Third world countries may be using the M60 tank today. And that's counting countries in Southwest Asia. Most civilized nations (nations than can build their own tanks) are all using the generic M1 Abrams "looking tanks" (design); meaning ceramics and kevlar, etc. instead of traditional cast steel.
