[Felix The Assassin]

Without throwing a tread here, and going on a stroll down memory lane, I will repent, and restate, *IN THE MODERN ERA OF MILITARY HARDWARE, THAT IS NOT A TANK, IT IS IN FACT AN APC*. A tank on the modern field of battle is unmistakable, ever so misunderstood, and verbally downgraded by *most* news agencies in an attempt to sell the story!


The M3 'Stuart' was a late 30's design built for quick action in the early 1940's, we have one here in the museum. However, if you notice it had 51mm of armor, which is almost twice as much as a modern APC! And less than a tenth of a modern tank.

The M551? Ha! Again, goes back to technical analogy. The M551 was and is still classified as a light tank. Two reasons for this account:
1. It had a 152mm direct fire cannon.
2. It weighed more than the M113 APC at 17 tons. With more than half again the armor.

However, in the modern era it falls short on many accounts, but has been replaced by another 'explicit', except this one is on wheels, and has the street name of 'Stryker'. However unique the Sheridan might be to you, feel warm knowing that it is the only military vehicle that has been retired and placed in museums, as well as still serving with the OPFOR at the NTC in the desert sands of Ft. Irwin!
