US Armored Cavalry Squadrons in Vietnam exchanged their M-48 Patton Tanks (90mm guns) for M-551 Sheridan Airborne Reconnaissance Assault Vehicles in 1969. The 17 ton Sheridan was equipped with a 152mm main gun (actually designed to be a launcher for a missile...the missile wasn't used in Vietnam, only the cannon). After the Vietnam War, the Sheridan was referred to as a "Light Tank."
