During World War II, Western Allied tank development tended to lag behind their German enemies and Soviet counterparts: the British split their armored forces into infantry support tanks like the Matilda and Churchill, and exploitation tanks such as the Cruiser series. The former were tough but very slow; the latter were fast but thinly armored. None of them carried a large gun, as they were not meant to duel other tanks.
Experience in North Africa, where the British tanks were regularly outgunned by German Panzers and blown apart by 88mm antitank guns, led to a major change in British tank design. The success of the Germans with the Panther and the Russians with the T-34/85 led the British to begin designing a new main battle tank, the Comet--the Comet combined the speed of a Cruiser tank with the superb 17 pounder (76mm) gun of the Sherman Firefly. The Comet's armor was still considered to be too thin to resist a direct hit from an 88, so a heavier tank was ordered. This would become the Centurion.
Whereas the Comet was the answer to the Panther, the Centurion was meant to take on the German heavies: the Tiger and King Tiger. The design specification called for armor thick enough to take multiple 88mm hits, yet retain the mobility (if not the top speed) of the Comet. It would also be equipped with the 17 pounder main gun. The designers were able to meet these requirements by using sloped armor: though the Centurion's armor was actually thinner than that of the Churchill, the sloped design made it more resistant to hits. Although the Centurion was larger than the Comet, it was just as mobile. Design changes (such as dropping the 17 pounder in favor of a more powerful 20 pounder main gun) meant that the first Centurions did not reach the British Armoured Corps until after the end of World War II, but crews were enthusiastic about the design all the same: the Centurion was a winner.
They were right. The Centurion might not have ever dueled a Tiger, but it would prove to be one of the most successful postwar tank designs, equal to (and in some cases superior to) the American M48 Patton series and the Soviet T-55. Centurions quickly replaced all other British tank designs, and was heavily exported.
It would also be combat proven. The British used their Centurions to superb effect in Korea, where Centurion regiments reinvented tank doctrine in mountainous terrain; the Australians would use them in Vietnam, where only six out of 58 were lost. India used Centurions against Pakistan, while South Africa used theirs in Angola. By far, however, the most experienced Centurion users were the Israelis. The IDF Armored Corps began to receive ex-British and Canadian Centurions just before the Six-Day War of 1968; during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, about 80 IDF Centurions destroyed 500 Syrian T-55s in the Battle of the Valley of Tears. In Israeli service, the Centurion was known as the Sho't (Scourge), and most were upgunned with American 105mm main guns.
Centurions would be replaced by the Chieftain in British Army units, but hundreds of Centurions would persist in service well into the 1990s; South Africa still uses heavily modified Centurions as the Olifant. The Centurion also underwent several dozen variants as engineering vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and even heavily modified in Israeli as turretless armored personnel carriers.
This Centurion is a Canadian Army example, assigned to the 4th Canadian Mechanized Brigade in West Germany during the Cold War. This one is a Mark 3, with the 20-pounder main gun. It's on display at the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum, where we saw it in June 2025.

Globalization has created an economically polarized world that is unsustainable over the long term. The richest one percent of the world’s population controls as much wealth as the poorest fifty-seven percent. The expansion of the global marketplace has left half the world’s population living on less than two dollars a day and more than a billion people are currently living on less than one dollar a day (Chua, 2003).
