The M46 Patton was developed as a rebuild program for the M26 shortly before the outbreak of the Korean War.

A new power pack was installed in the rear hull, leading to modified engine access doors and a different rear panel.

Like the M26A1, it was armed with the M3A1 90mm main gun, which had a new muzzle break. The M46 is most easily distinguished from the M26A1 by the large mufflers on the fender and the addition of a track tension idler wheel below the drive sprocket.

There were about 800 built by the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant. The 628th Tank battalion (present day 103rd Armor) trained with the M46 in Germany in the early 1950s.

The M46 Patton was the first of the Patton series tanks and one of the US Army's principal main battle tanks of the Cold War, with models in service from the 1950s until the 1960s. The M46 was the US Army's primary tank during the Korean War.
