	REME Sherman Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle
		Another reason for the choice of the Sherman M4A2 was that its diesel engines were less affected by the sudden cooling of the vehicle being plunged into deep water.
		The Sherman BARVs together with wading tractors and normal wheeled recovery vehicles equipped REME beach recovery sections, which were among the first troops to land on D Day.
		The Sherman BARV continued in use for training purposes long after World War 2 until replaced in the 1960s by a Centurion BARV some of which remain in service in 1996.

	BARV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original BARV was a Sherman M4A2 tank which had been waterproofed and had the turret replaced by a tall armoured superstructure.
		A few Sherman BARV's continued to be used until 1963, when they were replaced by a vehicle based on the Centurion tank.
		Centurion BARVs are on display at the Bovington Tank Museum (UK), at the IDF Armoured Corps Museum (Yad la-Shiryon) (Latrun, Israel), and at the IDF History Museum (Batey ha-Osef) (Tel-Aviv, Israel).

		A very unusual modification was the Sherman BARV which had a welded superstructure attached to the top in place of the turret.
		Later when the Sherman was being replaced in British service by the Cromwell, the Firefly was retained until the introduction of the Comet which carried the 77 mm HV a form of cutdown 17 pdr.
		While Shermans were able to take on the Panzer III medium tanks in the North African campaigns, they were unable to withstand the weapons mounted on late-model Panzer IV, and Panther and Tiger tanks encountered in Italy and Normandy.

		The first Shermans to see battle were with the British 8th Army at El Alamein in October 1942.
		Latin-America used the Sherman for a long time after the war; the Chilean army used active-duty Shermans into 1989, and Paraguay was the last country in Latin America to use the Sherman.
		While it was an effective weapon in 1942, by the Normandy landings of 1944 the Sherman lacked effectiveness against the medium Panther and heavy Tiger I tanks, against which the Sherman´s 75mm gun could not achieve a frontal penetration at any range.

	Sherman ID 101 for armor noobs - FileFront Gaming Forums
		The wet hull Shermans had larger hull hatches and the ammo was removed from the line of fire in the sponsons and stored in armored water jacketed storage containers mounted in the floor where they were less likely to be hit.
		To counter this the Sherman Jumbo was fitted with duckbill grousers that were bolted to the track ends by the track pins.
		When the later model 75mm gunned turret arrived with the loaders hatch the.50 was moved to the laoders position and in some cases the loader got a.50cal and the commander got a lintle mounted.30cal or vice versa.

	Sherman BARV
		This surprising machine is not a battle tank, but an amphibious armoured vehicle imagined by the British engineers and planned for recovering all vehicles out of service in the water during Overlord operation (Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle).
		Several Sherman M4A2 without turret received a tall and hydrodynamic superstructure, with accessories to facilitate displacements of the crew on the machine.
		This kit adapts directly on the hull common to all Sherman, Destroyer, Lee or Priest mades by Solido/Verem, (pictures 6 and 7), and maybe on the M4A3 from Fuman.
