                    Comet A34 (Cruiser Tank)

Tank Comet I (anglicky Cruiser Tank Comet I (A34)) byl dalším vývojovým typem křižníkového tanku, který se odvíjel od tanku Cromwell. Prototyp stroje byl dokončen na počátku roku 1944. Do bojů se tank zapojil až v prosinci 1944.

The Comet tank or Tank, Cruiser, Comet I (A34) was a British cruiser tank that first saw use near the end of World War II during the Invasion of Germany. It was designed as an improvement on the earlier Cromwell tank, mounting the new 77 mm HV gun in a new lower profile and part-cast turret. This gun was effective against late-war German tanks, including the Panther at medium range, and the Tiger.
