 == History ==
-The T13E1 is a variant of the [[M3 (75 mm)|75mm gun M3]] tank cannon used on the M4 Sherman. To adapt the [[B-25 (Family)|B-25 Mitchell]] for the anti-shipping role, the nose was originally modified to carry a 75mm M4 pack howitzer. However, the Army wanted greater firepower than the M4 so they modified the design to create the T13E1 which was tested on the B-35H and its Navy counterpart the [[PBJ-1H]]. The new design had a different breach mechanism and the gun walls were lighter to reduce weight it was intended to fired by the navigator. The T13E1 had a muzzle velocity of 2,362 feet per second and it was eventually adopted into service as the 75mm gun M5. However, it had a low rate of fire of only 4 rounds per strafing run, generated considerable recoil, and was relatively ineffective against ground targets so the design was sometimes replaced by a field kit that replaced it with two extra .50 caliber [[M2 Browning (12.7 mm)|M2 Brownings]]. However, the lighter cannon of the M5 would find its place as the weapon mounted on the [[M24|M24 Chaffee]] light tank.
