Was the M48 Patton tank the last Patton tank?
Correct. Even though you will see plastic model kits, sometimes books, and advertisements calling the M60 that name, they will be incorrect; normally those companies took a short cut in researching their titles and, often choose the first name they saw. The M60 was called the M60 Combat Tank, Full Tracked, and was fielded in 1960. The US Army wanted to officially name the M60, the M60 MBT (Main Battle Tank) but the paperwork had already been processed for "Combat Tank", so they let it stand. However, the M60 did in fact become the US Army's first MBT, and was referred to that name during the 1960's and 1970's. The M60 MBT looks almost exactly like the M48 Patton, which was officially called the "M48 90mm Gun Tank Patton." The only external differences are: 1. M60 MBT has a straight edged front slope; M48's is rounded. 2. M60 MBT has a flat slabbed sided turret on each side; M48's is rounded. 3. M60 MBT has 3 support rollers per side; M48's have 5 per side. 4. M60 MBT has aluminum road wheels; M48's are steel. 5. M60 MBT has a 105mm gun with bore evacuator in the middle and no flash suppresser. M48 has a 90mm gun with the bore evacuator near the muzzle and touching the flash suppressor. There were only 3 Pattons: M46 (a modified M26 Pershing); M47; M48. The M46 Patton saw action in Korea, the M48 Patton saw combat in Vietnam. The M47 Patton was used in films: Battle of the Bulge as a German Tiger tank, and also for target practice for tank gunnery at various US Army tank ranges. The M47 Patton was never used by US forces in combat.
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.

What are all of the serviced main battle tanks of World War 2?
The simple answer is there were no MBTs (Main Battle Tanks) used in WWII. The Main Battle Tank was a concept that developed during the could as Armored technology evolved to a point that Medium Tanks could mount guns able to effectively penetrate any practical armor at long range. This made the concept of a Heavy Tank, heavily armored, armed, but slow, obsolete as now tanks smaller, faster, and more maneuverable could take them down with relative easy. In many regards the first Main Battle Tank was the British Centurion, which was developed in 1945 and variants of which are still in service today, but it never saw combat service in the Second World War. The first Soviet MBT was the T-64, as it's predecessors were all designed and classified as Medium Tanks. The First American MBT was the M60, unofficially known as the M60 Patton, though I do remember hearing somewhere that designating the M60 as an MBT was done more as a publicity stunt than anything else and it was effectively just a Medium Tank, however I have no sources for this.
