Subject: Can the M-1 Abrams travel completely submerged?
mabie    9/27/2009 3:24:24 AM
I know the Leopard and many Russian tanks have the option to use a snorkel to cross rivers while completely submerged. I'm not so sure the Abrams has this capability. If this is the case, was this an oversight on the part of the American designers. One can't always assume bridges will be available/still standing when a river has to be crossed. And it takes time to set up a temporary bridge.
