An Entity of Type: Light tank, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Tank, Light, Mk VIII (A25), also known as the Harry Hopkins, after American President Roosevelt's chief diplomatic advisor, was a British light tank produced by Vickers-Armstrong during the Second World War. The Mk VIII was the last in the line of light tanks the company had built for the British Army, and was intended to be the successor of the previous light tank designed by Vickers-Armstrong, the Mk VII Tetrarch. A number of changes were made to the Mk VIII, most notably increasing its width, length and weight and also increasing the thickness of the armour. The design of the tank was submitted to the War Office in late 1941, with an initial order for 1,000 models being made by the Tank Board of the War Office in the same month, a number that increased to 2,410 in November.

  • Lehký tank Mk VIII Harry Hopkins vznikl na základě předchůdce Mk VII Tetrarch. První prototyp byl vyroben roku 1941. Tank měl zesílený pancíř, což ovšem znamenalo zhoršení jízdních vlastností oprotiTetrarchu. Celkem bylo vyrobeno 99 kusů tanků Mk VIII Harry Hopkins. (cs)
  • The Tank, Light, Mk VIII (A25), also known as the Harry Hopkins, after American President Roosevelt's chief diplomatic advisor, was a British light tank produced by Vickers-Armstrong during the Second World War. The Mk VIII was the last in the line of light tanks the company had built for the British Army, and was intended to be the successor of the previous light tank designed by Vickers-Armstrong, the Mk VII Tetrarch. A number of changes were made to the Mk VIII, most notably increasing its width, length and weight and also increasing the thickness of the armour. The design of the tank was submitted to the War Office in late 1941, with an initial order for 1,000 models being made by the Tank Board of the War Office in the same month, a number that increased to 2,410 in November. Production began in June 1942 but immediately began encountering problems with the tank, and a number of modifications had to be made to the design after complaints were made by the War Office and the Fighting Vehicle Proving Establishment. These problems were so acute that only 6 tanks had been produced by mid-1943, and only 100 when production ended in February 1945. By mid-1941, officials in the War Office and the British Army had taken the decision that light tanks were no longer to be used by the British Army due to their inferior weapons and armour, as well as their poor performance during the conflict. Consequently, the Mk VIII was obsolete by the time that any significant number of the tanks had been produced, and none ever saw combat. A number of plans were made by the War Office for the design in light of this decision, including equipping reconnaissance units with them, or the unsuccessful idea of attaching wings to them so that aircraft could tow them as gliders into position to support airborne forces; eventually it was decided to hand over those tanks that had been built to the Royal Air Force for use in airfield defence. One variant on the Mk VIII was designed, the Alecto self-propelled gun which was to have mounted a howitzer and used as a close-support vehicle by airborne forces; however only a few were ever produced and they were never used in combat.

  • Mk.VIII輕型坦克(A25),同樣被稱作哈里·霍普金斯(他是時任美國總統羅斯福的首席外交顧問)。Mk.VII是一款由維克斯-阿姆斯特朗在二戰時期制造的英國輕型坦克。Mk VIII在當時是維克斯公司為英軍制造的最新式輕型坦克,其設計旨在取代之前的維克斯-阿姆斯特朗所設計的輕型坦克Mk.VII領主。Mk.VIII在領主坦克的基礎上做了一些改進,其中最明顯的就是加長加寬,和重量的增加。同時,裝甲也在領主坦克的基礎上有所提高。Mk.VIII的設計方案在1941年晚期提交給了陸軍部,陸軍部在當月就訂購了1000輛這種坦克,并在11月將訂購數目追加到2410輛。生產在1942年6月開始,但是很快就暴露出了問題,在陸軍部和戰車測試機構的投訴下,Mk.VIII的設計進行了一系列的修改。因為花費了大量時間在解決這些棘手的問題上的緣故,截止到1943年中期,只有6輛Mk.VIII下線,在1945年2月生產結束之前,也只生產了100輛Mk.VIII。 在1941年中期,陸軍部和軍方介于輕型坦克差勁的火力和裝甲,以及它們在以前作戰中的糟糕表現,決定不再在英國軍隊中使用輕型坦克。因此,在當時,Mk.VIII就已經被認為過時,已經生產出來的坦克也從來沒有投入過實戰。而之后陸軍部對該設計做出的許多決定,也是根據這一決定而做出的,包括在Mk.VIII上安裝偵查設備,抑或是不成功的主意——在它們身上安裝翅膀,這樣的話飛機在投下它們之后,它們就可以像滑翔機一樣到達指定地點支援空降部隊。最終,又決定把那些已經生產出來的坦克轉手給皇家空軍用於機場防御;然而,最終這種坦克只生產了很少數量,并且從來沒有投入過實戰。 (zh)
