M60, Cold War-era battle tank on display at Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama.
This main battle tank features a 105 mm main gun and welded steel armor, measuring approximately 10.7 feet (3.27 meters) in height and 11.9 feet (3.63 meters) in width, with a rotating turret designed for 360-degree targeting capability.
The M60 was developed in the late 1950s to replace the M48 Patton and served as the standard armored vehicle for the United States Army and Marine Corps throughout the Cold War period and later conflicts including the Gulf War.
The tank has become an important symbol of mid-20th-century military engineering and appears in numerous military museums across the United States, where it helps visitors understand the technological developments in armored warfare during the Cold War era.
The M60 is located at 2703 Battleship Parkway in Mobile, Alabama, within Battleship Memorial Park, where visitors can view it alongside other historic military vehicles and aircraft as part of the outdoor collection open to the public.
This tank model was designed with a crew of four members including commander, gunner, loader, and driver, and its chassis served as the basis for several specialized variants including recovery vehicles and command tanks throughout its operational service.
