US Tanks are named after US Generals (with some exceptions, such as US Civil War Confederate Generals)*. US Army Helicopters are named after US Indian Tribes (with the exception of the Vietnam War COBRA Attack Helicopter); During War II, US Battleships were named after US States; US Cruisers were named after US Cities, and US Destroyers were named after US Sailors/Marines killed in action. During the Korean War (1950-1953), the M-26 Pershing was slightly modified and re-named the M-46 PATTON tank, and fought during the Korean War. The M-46 became the FIRST of the "Patton Series" tanks: M-46 Patton, M-47 Patton, M-48 Patton, and the M-60 Patton tank. The M-47 Patton NEVER saw action with US Forces. The M-48 Patton fought in the Vietnam War. The M-60 Patton deployed to Desert Storm with the US Marines in 1991; but was largely overshadowed by the US Army's M-1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. * How the naming of American tanks came about. Up until the end of the Second World War the US military did not officially name its tanks, instead reffering to them by their type and designation, eg Medium Tank M3, Light Tank M3, Combat Car M2, etc. This policy began to change during WW2 when the Lend-Lease program saw thousands of tanks released to Britain and it became British policy to name all American Lend-Lease tanks after American Civil War generals. The first such was the Light Tank M3 which was allocated the name 'Stuart' (after Confederate cavalry general J.E.B "Jeb" Stuart). The next was the variant of the Medium Tank M3 developed for British use (which had an enlarged turret for the 37mm gun and bustle-mounted radio) which was allocated the name 'Grant'; the American version of the M3 (with the original smaller two-tier turret) was also used by Britain with the name 'Lee'. The most well-known American tank to see British service was of course the 'Sherman'. By the time this vehicle entered service the "type" part of the type-designation had been dropped from American official use, so rather than being the Medium Tank M4 it was simply the M4. Throughout the war none of these vehicles when used by US forces had official names. However by the time of the arrival of the M24 and M26 in North-west Europe in 1945 the British names for their US tanks names had begun to achieve widespread unofficial use within the US ground forces; in the case of these two (light and heavy) tanks respectively being 'Chaffee' and 'Pershing' even though these names do not appear to have been used in official US documentation at the time nor do they seem to have been allocated by the British War Office.
