Subsequently a whole line of tanks was named after Patton, including the Patton M46, M47, M48 and M60. The first three were classified as "Medium" tanks while the M60 was a "Main Battle Tank".

 

This tank is the M60; the line was retired from US service in 2005 but remains in service by many countries around the world.

 

This tank is on display at the 45th Infantry Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 45thdivisionmuseum.com/
