It was probably used by other nations later than Korea, but im still going to make that guess. _________________ FAF/FA-2 Beta Tester VNFAWING.com Duke's Desk Column Mon May 30 10:19:41 2005 CAG Hotshot   Rank: Admin, Site Owner, Developer, Webmaster Joined: 12 Aug 2004 Posts: 16261 Post subject: We need more people to post their reasons for the vote they choose.

Actually no other tanks were developed from the Sherman... But there was plenty of modificiations to the original hulls, especially by the Israelis with their "Super Sherman" versions mounting a French modified 75mm panther tank cannon and a more modern version mounting a 105mm gun. This vehicle was designated the M51 Super Sherman, and perhaps that is where your confusion for the relation to the M551 Sheridan? The 75mm panther cannon version was designated M50...

WHile it is true that hte Sherman was used in Mechanized formations for the last time in combat by the Israelis in 1973, it wasnt the last time the Sherman was used in combat... During Operation Iraqi Freedom Invasion of Iraqi in 2003, 2 Iraqi M-4 Sherman Tanks, on display outside the Tank Museum in Iraq, were occupied and used as pillboxes by insurgents. These two tanks had to be knocked out by US Marines, thus ending the last combat by Sherman Tanks in recent history!
