Hi clickster, where did you get the info on the M-60 CEV in Nam? I did some in depth research for my museum last year and was informed very flatly that there were no M-60 series tanks sent to Vietnam and the that latest model 48 tanks were the 48A3 with 90mm and dielsels. If they did have stuff there, I'd like to to know where and when. Just the size and weight of the 60 would be enought justifiication not to send to a swamp/jungle area. Plus as that time, it was the latest in our inventory and no a good idea to let them out of the box too soon.
Is it possible that it was missed in your search because it was listed as M728 rather than M60 CEV? According to the Squadron/signal M60 book the M728 saw 'limited' service in Vietnam. I can't find any references in my books to an M48 CEV variant (flamethrowers, AVLB etc variants, just no CEV). Just a thought.
