	M551 Sheridan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M551 Sheridan is a light tank and armoured reconnaissance vehicle developed by the United States.
		The most ironic part of the M551 story is that it was created in order to give the US forces an amphibious tank, causing the existing T-92 design to be abandoned.
		However, for all the trouble, it appears that the swimming system of the M551 was never used in combat.

	M551 Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle
		The hull, suspension, and miscellaneous hull components of the M551A1 and M551 NTC are identical.
		The M551 became the M551 NTC when configured for use in training at the National Training Center (NTC) in Fort Irwin, California and the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) in Fort Chaffee, Arkansas.
		M551 vehicles equipped with the M81 gun/launcher employ a CO2 bore and breech scavenging system to clear the gun/launcher of residue and/or gases resulting from firing.

	M551 Sheridan Tank - K Troop - 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment - Hosted By Bob Hersey
		The M551 Sheridan was developed to provide the US Army with a light armored reconnaissance vehicle with heavy firepower.
		In addition to the main gun/missile launcher, the M551 is armed with a 7.62mm M240 machine gun and a 12.7mm M2 HB antiaircraft machine gun.
		However, the M551 is still used by the 82nd Airborne Division.

	M551A1 Armored Reconnaissance Airborne Assault Vehicle (Sheridan)
		The M551 Sheridan tank was designed in the early 1960's, as a need arose for U.S. forces needing a light tank.
		The M551 "General Sheridan" armored reconnaissance airborne assault vehicle had been under development as "a lightweight armored vehicle to support ground reconnaissance." In mid-1969 it began to replace some of the tanks in the armored cavalry squadrons.
		The M551 was last used by the 82nd Airborne Division.

	M551 Sheridan
		The M551 Sheridan is a light battle tank developed by the United States.
		The M551 Sheridan light tank was one of the first pieces of equipment rushed into Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield.
		Unlike main battle tanks, the Sheridan can be dropped by parachute, making it an important part of the combat power of the 82d Airborne Division[?].

	Blue Line Gear
		Both the 551 and 552 feature durable housing, simple controls, A special night vision setting on the M551 and 552 allows the operator to immediately drop the brightness intensity of the holographic reticle to eliminate any "halo" effect and saturations of the night vision device.
		Unlike infrared lasers, the M551 is undetectable by enemy night vision surveillance, while in the night vision mode.
		Typically 1 or 2 night vision settings are not enough to support a host of constantly changing conditions, including manufacturing variances in the sensitivities of intensifier tubes, varying ambient light environments, and varying light gathering sensitivities of the human eye across users.

	152mm Gun-launcher AR/AAV M551 Sheridan
		Early M551s had a turret ventilator dome on the left rear side wall; this was moved to the turret left front on later Sheridans.
		The original M81 152mm gun-launcher on the M551 was equipped with a bore evacuator and an open breech carbon dioxide scavenging system, which was composed of two jets that blew CO into the open breech after firing to get rid of any remnants of the combustible case ammunition.
		CBSS was first installed on M551 number 700, and retrofit kits were developed for the previous vehicles.

	Major tank developments 1960-2004 Armor - Find Articles
		These findings led to developing the MBT 70, the M60A2, and the M551, all of which were armed with the 152mm M162 gun/Shillelagh missile launcher.
		This was done, and when the MBT 70 and subsequent XM803 effort died, and the M60A2 was withdrawn from service after a very short period, the Army was stuck with a huge inventory of Shillelagh missiles that were never used.
		The M551 also developed another problem in Vietnam: the M409 had a combustible case, which often swelled in the dampness making it difficult to load.

		At 20 0045 Dec, the mechanized infantry of B/4-6 Inf (M) crossed the line of departure (LD) and was almost immediately confronted by a roadblock and heavy small arms fire.
		The external phone on the M551 Sheridan was essential for light elements to communicate with tank crews providing suppressive fires, especially during MOUT.

		A turret to take this hybrid weapon was developed and mounted on a Walker Bulldog hull, and tests, during which 590 MGM-51 'Shillelagh' missiles were fired, seemed to indicate that the concept was viable.
		The most interesting innovation of the Sheridan - which was named after American Civil War infantryman turned cavalry leader, General 'Little Phil' Sheridan - was its use of aluminum armor for its hull and aluminum alloys for its engine and transmission casing.
		The M551 was issued to airborne and light formations, but by 1979 it had been withdrawn from all but the 82nd Airborne Division.

		At the edge of built-up areas, the tracks of many trolley lines left the streets and traveled along a private right-of-way to reach their destinations in the suburbs and nearby towns.
		Dump car M551 is one of six such cars built for the Pittsburgh Railways Company in 1922 by the Differential Steel Car Company of Findlay, Ohio.
		Today, M551 performs the work it was designed to do at the museum, delivering ballast to track work areas and filling washout areas on our line, most recently after Hurricane Ivan washed out some areas of our track in September 2004.

		The M551 re-production should include a spade which drops down below the hull, at the rear like a self-propelled gun, for firing the 152mm conventional round- for stationary rapid firing accuracy.
		The M551 design is an almost perfectly sized vehicle, with a SUPERIOR weapon to that of most tanks one would encounter.
		A remanufacturing of the M551 should consider that the size of the hull is ideal.

		The prototypes which appeared in 1962 took another three years to mature into what was then called the M551 Airborne Amphibious Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle or AAARV for short.
		Later, when the 4/73rd Armor with the 82nd Airborne Division was the only US Army unit left with the M551 in service, they also created a design for a standardized turret bustle rack.
		The M551, later upgraded as an A1 with a laser rangefinder, soldiered on into the 1990s.

		The M551 Sheridan Tank, fielded in the early 1960's, is no longer in production and the total density of M551 vehicles in use throughout the U.S. has declined dramatically.
		The aging M551 tanks are becoming increasingly difficult to logistically support.
		Second, the M551 is being phased out and Soviet BMPs are not in the active Army inventory, therefore, OPFOR BMP crewman must currently receive specialized training.

		Second, the M551 is being phased out and Soviet BMPs are not in the active Army inventory.
		Each M551 that is replaced by an M113/BMP-2 OSV will create a total support cost savings of approximately $153,000 per vehicle per year.
		Realism: Realism is degraded because the M551 BMP OSV has only minor visual modifications and does not visually represent the Russian designed BMP to a satisfactory degree.

		In particular the M551 had a thin underbelly which, unlike the heavy steel belly armor of the M48A3, was very susceptible to damage from mines.

		The primary deployment vehicle for the Shillelagh missile was the M551 Sheridan AFV (Armoured Fighting Vehicle), which could also fire conventional unguided M409 HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) rounds from its M81 gun.
		Apart from the M551 Sheridan, the only other delivery system for the Shillelagh was the M60A2 tank, developed from the M60A1 model via the interim M60A1E1 and M60A1E2.
		In the U.S. Army National Guard, the M551 was finally retired in 1984.

		Served only with 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions (not with the marines, they had the M50 Ontos, which served the same role).
		As you can see above we could have had a combination of helicopters and Infantry/AFVs in Vietnam using either the M551 Sheridan light tank, the M56 Scorpion SP 90mm gun, the M50 Onto SP 6 x 106mm Recoilless Rifle vehicle, the M114 scout vehicle or the fantastic M113 APC with ACAV gunshields.
		If lift helicopters were inadequate qualitatively for the 17-ton M551 and 11-ton M113 or not enough in quantity, the Brigade of the 101st Airborne or 1st Cavalry Division still on jump-status could have parachuted after heavy-dropping their M551s/M113A3s from uSAF C-130 fixed-wing aircraft, working in concert with helicopter-delivered Air Assault infantry.
