Description:
The XM251 SBFV (officially; Boat, 100mm Autocannon Carrier, XM251 Seaborne Fighting Vehicle) was a amphibious tank, developed in 1970s to counter the growing Soviet Amphibious Tank doctrine, the tank was made as a NATO response to the Soviet PT-76 light tanks. In the Aberdeen Proving Ground, the tests have shown that the vehicle is too advanced ahead of its time, so the vehicle was abandoned and the SBFV is still in the Aberdeen Proving Ground as a outdoor museum piece
