The M46 was an American tank designed to replace the M26 Pershing and M4 Sherman. It was one of the U.S Army’s principal medium tanks of the early Cold War with models in service from 1949 to the mid-1950s. It was not widely used by U.S. Cold War allies being exported only to Belgium and only in small numbers to train crews on the upcoming M47. The M46 was the first tank to be named after General George S. Patton Jr. commander of the U.S.
