M55 Howitzer

The M55 self-propelled howitzer was a U.S. Cold War–era artillery vehicle introduced in the 1950s. It mounted a powerful 203 mm (8-inch) howitzer on a tracked, fully enclosed chassis, providing heavy long-range fire support with armored crew protection. The M55 served with U.S. and allied forces until it was replaced by more modern self-propelled artillery systems.
