CTLS-4TAC
/ -4TAY in US Army service
|
|
| Approximately
240 ("the balance of the order") non-delivered Marmon-Herrington tanks
were taken over by the U.S. Army Ordnance Department. The CTLS-4TAC and
-4TAY tanks were redesignated Light Tank T14 and T16 respectively. They
were used for training and a some were used in Alaska; more specifically
at {{Dutch Harbour, Unalaska and the Aleutian Islands.}??not all the same??}
Reportedly, one was used to test its effectiveness in the tundra at Cold
Bay but immediately sank away in a peat bog and was never recovered. |

| One CTLS-4TAC
(allegedly destined for China) was used as a mobile crane at the Great
Falls Air Force Base in Montana until the 1960s and its lower hull survives
until this day in the hands of a private collector in Brighton, Colorado,
USA. Sadly, it has been re-engined and its upper hull is missing. |
