The development of World War II tank destroyers commenced with the introduction of the M3 37mm towed antitank gun. Continuing to bide time until the military could develop better alternatives, the US initially integrated existing armaments with vehicle platforms such as the M6 ¾ton truck and the M375 HalfTrack. This progression led to the production of the Shermanbased M10 tank destroyer. Eventually, the United States designed and manufactured the M18 Hellcat almost entirely anew, though tank destroyer design culminated in the adaptation of a 90mm gun mounted on another variant of the Sherman tank, dubbed the M36 Jackson.
