	Comet tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The Comet, as design A34, was initially drawn up as a successor to the Cromwell, and accordingly was designed to share as many components as possible with its predecessor.
		The Comet was roughly the equivalent of the German Panther medium tank (which predated it by two years).

	Rolls-Royce Meteor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For tank use the Merlin had its supercharger removed and was de-rated to approx 600 bhp (447 kW).
		In addition, because weight-saving was not so important for a tank engine some of the Merlin's more expensive light-alloy components were replaced with cheaper components manufactured from steel.
		Previously, British tanks had been regarded as somewhat underpowered and unreliable, and the Meteor is considered to be the engine that for the first time gave British tanks ample, reliable, power.

		The control system is composed of storage tanks for nitrogen gas, plumbing for distributing the gas, a nitrogen pressure regulator, burst diaphragm and the throttle valve.
		Of course the fuel flow takes place when the valve is opened because the fuel tank has been pre-loaded to a pressure of 525 psi but the nitrogen gas and this loading is kept constant during the run by the nitrogen regulator.
		After firing the motor, the pressure in the fuel tank is released by means of a vent valve actuated by the driver.

		In the summer of 1945, with the war in Europe over, the Department of Tank Design decided to investigate complaints about the Comet tank; apparently there were numerous reports of front idler and track link failure.
		Comet was the first tank with Christie suspension to be fitted with track return rollers and clearly someone suggested that this was the problem.
		In order to test the theory a Comet was stripped of its return rollers and then compared with a conventional one.

		The only obvious difference between it and the Mark C was the fitting of the turret cupola for the commander.
		This tank remained in service until 1940, when it was damaged beyond economic repair in anti-tank defense trials; its turret was dismounted to form part of a pillbox; the hull being scrapped.
		The Comet resulted from a hurried need to fit the 17pdr gun to the chassis of a Cromwell/Challenger.

		Early Light Tank marks (from I to IV) had two-man crews, increased to three with the Mark V. Although the speed and fair reliability of the Light Tanks compensated their poor armour and firepower, they proved of limited combat value, even in reconnaissance role.
		The Cruiser Tank Comet was in practice an enhanced Cromwell but deserved a new name because the high number of design changes and new components (first of all the adoption of the 17-pounder as main gun).
		Unlike other British tanks it was well-armoured (its armour was proof against most German anti-tank weapons of the early war years) and mechanically reliable.

		The Sherman 105 was not intended to fight enemy tanks, heck it should not have been that close to the front.
		It could fire a HEAT round that would penetrate about 75mm of armor but only a few HEAT rounds were carried as it was intended for self defence.
		The Comet and Pershing would be much better choices because they actually saw action, albeit at the very end of the war.

		The 23rd Hussars was one of six regular cavalry regiments reformed for the duration of the war.
		As the senior regiment in the 29th Armoured Brigade, it carried the number 51 on the red ‘arm of service’ square and displayed red squadron symbols.
		Prior to 1945 the 23rd Hussars had been primarily a Sherman equipped unit but in January of that year, as Germany was entered, they traded them in for Comet Mk.1’s, a batch of 95mm gunned Cromwell Tanks for close support work and turretless Honey tanks for reconnaissance purposes.
