# M60A2 Starship

Role
: Main Battle Tank

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/m60a2-starship.md#general-information)

Description
: The **M60A2 Starship** is a Main Battle Tank variant of the **M60** series, fielded by the United States in the 1970s with a low-profile turret and the **152 mm M162** gun-launcher capable of firing conventional rounds and the **MGM-51B Shillelagh** wire-guided missile. The combination was intended to engage armour at long range, but the system proved complex and the variant was phased out in favor of the 105 mm [M60A3](/md/rv/vehicles/m60a3-tts.md). The 51.9 t vehicle is crewed by four (driver, gunner, commander, loader) and is powered by an **AVDS-1790-2** diesel producing 750 hp for 14.5 hp/t and 48 km/h.
The M162 can fire HEAT (M409A1), HE (M657A2, M625A1), and Shillelagh; a **7.62 mm M240** is coaxial and a **12.7 mm M85** is commander-mounted. The gunner has a laser rangefinder and FCS with 1x/8x magnification but no thermals; stabilizer and smoke grenades are fitted, and an engine smoke system is available.
