History
A new alternate design concept for USA tanks begins in April 1952. H. L. Yoh Company, Inc. presented a report on June 1, 1953, outlining seven preliminary design concepts for a new medium tank. All seven tanks used the AOSI-1195-5 engine and mounted the 105 mm T140 gun on a new oscillating turret. The M-IV-Y was the fourth proposal. The main armament was installed in an oscillating turret with a shield ring. The tank was estimated to weigh 47 tons.

Yoh Company, Inc. ha presentato un rapporto il 1 giugno 1953, delineando sette concetti di design preliminari per un nuovo carro medio. Tutti e sette i carri armati utilizzavano il motore AOSI-1195-5 e montavano il cannone T140 da 105 mm su una nuova torretta oscillante. Il M-IV-Y era la quarta proposta. L’armamento principale era installato in una torretta oscillante con un anello di protezione. Il carro è stato stimato a pesare 47 tonnellate.
