The base tank, an M4A4 serial number 20026, was one of a number of tanks sent to York Safe & Lock for fitting with a T6 swimming device (source: K. Laughlin). The T6 consisted originally of large buoyancy tanks in front of and behind the tank (only the rear buoyancy tank remains on this tank); the T6 was later standardised as the M19. In addition this tank has been fitted with six spigot mortars at the top of the glacis set to fire forward and intended to clear beach obstacles. It came from Quantico in a vehicle trade; its duckbill track will be removed to put on the ‘Cobra King’ Jumbo and the track previously removed from that vehicle will be put on this one (source: D. Moriarty). It was previously on display, with the Quantico Chi-Ha, at the Navy Memorial Museum in the Navy Yard at Washington, D.C., and before that at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
