Joined the Service: 1955
Producer: General Dynamics Price: $1 million The M60 Patton, introduced in 1959, is the Marine Corps’ second-generation main battle tank. After the Marines’ heavy tank battalion deactivated in 1963, the M60 became a core asset, especially during the Cold War. Priced around $1 million, the M60 was the primary U.S. battle tank of its era. Its robust design and technology made it effective against enemy armor, shaping armored warfare’s future.

The M60 served the Army until 2005, proving durable and combat-ready. Its range, firepower, and crew effectiveness made it a key figure in U.S. military history, especially in the Cold War.
