The 155 mm Gun Motor Carriage M40 was an American self-propelled artillery vehicle built on a widened and lengthened M4A3 Sherman Tank chassis and featuring the powerful 155mm "Long Tom" gun. A large rear spade provided stability while firing 95lb explosive shells at targets up to 14 miles away. Production began in February 1945, and while it was officially adopted in May 1945 none of the 418 manufactured by the end of WWII saw action. Instead, this powerful SPG was deployed in the Korean War, in which it provided long range bombardments of enemy positions. Designed to replace the M12 Gun Motor Carriage, the M40 entered service in 1945. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
