M47 Patton - Walkaround - Diekirch Military Museum
The M47 Patton was an American main battle tank and was
developed during the development of the
M46 Patton during 1948.
The M47 would mount an updated turret and it
was a replacment for the M26 Pershing and the M46 Patton.
It was the second American tank to be named after
General George S. Patton.
The M47 was the last American-designed tank to
include a bow machine gun.
The T42 turret had a larger turret ring than
the M26/M46 turret, and featured a needle-nose design,
which improved armor protection of the turret front.
Production of the M47 began in July 1951 until 1960
and 8,576 were produced in total.
The M47 was the only Patton series tank
that never saw combat while in US service.
Many other countries like Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands
South Korea and Japan would use the tank as well.
Today the M47 is still used by Spain and Iran.
The vehicle at Diekirch was used by the Belgium army.
