I always thought this was an interesting image. A WW2 tank in shallow water. I wonder about the story of the guys that were in it. What happened, and such. Alot of armor went down when their barges were hit while assaulting defended Japanese islands.

Sorry for interfering with your landing operations phantasy, but that is an M 42 Duster anti aircraft tank, first built in 1952. Probably the very one purpously sunk by order of the King of Jordan in 2000 as an artificial reef in the "Red Sea Marine Peace Park" See also: http://www.taucher.net/redaktion/11/Noch_mehr_Panzer_5.html Cheers!
