mine-clearing flail tanks supporting the infantry in Operation Clipper. Later use Some British tanks were sent to India in 1945. The US Tenth Army requested deployment of CDL tanks for use during the Battle of Okinawa, but fighting there was complete by the time they arrived. During the Korean War, there was a requirement for searchlights on the battlefield. There was brief interest in resurrecting a CDL on an M4 Sherman design (T52) that had started in 1944, but it was recognized that four battalions could be equipped with normal searchlights for the cost of a single CDL tank. Surviving examples The only surviving CDL-equipped Matilda tank is in the collection of the Royal Armoured Corps at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, in Britain. One CDL-equipped M3 Grant is displayed at Cavalry Tank Museum, Ahmednagar in India. See also Camp Bouse US test site.
