William Tecumseh ("Teak") Sherman, the Civil War General who teamed up successfully with Ulysses Grant, and helped to end the war by crossing Georgia almost unmolested, demonstrating that the Confederacy was too weak to survive.
Several tanks have been named after U.S. generals, notably the M4 Sherman, named in honor of General William Tecumseh Sherman. The M48 Patton tank is named after General George S. Patton, a prominent World War II figure. Additionally, the M1 Abrams tank is named after General Creighton Abrams, who played a significant role in the Vietnam War. These tanks reflect the legacy and contributions of these military leaders in U.S. history.
The M4 Sherman Tank would take a maximum of five crew. There are seats for the gunner, loader, machine gunner, driver and Captain.
