M60 Main Battle Tank - Salem, MA - Military Ground Equipment Displays on Waymarking.com

This M60 Main Battle Tank is on public display in the Irzyk Park in Salem, Massachusetts. Irzyk Park is located along Fort Ave and is dedicated to Brigadier General Albin Felix Irzyk. He fought in Europe as a tank battalion commander in the fourth armored division, which spearheaded General Patton's Third Army across Europe.

The M60 Main Battle Tank was developed by Chrysler from the M48 series. The production of M60 tanks started in the late 1959 at the Detroit Tank Arsenal and ended in 1987. The first tanks were completed in 1960 and went 1961 in service. The last service under the U.S. flag was in the operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm in Kuwait. It is still used by the U.S. Reserve and National Guard Units.

I couldn't find any plaque near the tank that gives better information. If you know a littel bit more about this tank please provide it in your log.

Many thanks and happy waymarking,
King Hubi

Location restrictions: This M60 tank is right next to a kids playground, soccer and baseball fields. So I think it's safe to say you can touch it. However, please don't climb it!
