>the 152-millimeter gun/missile system was never fired in anger.<

It was this I was actually questioning.

I was half right. The Shillelagh missile was never used. The tanks fired 152 MM rounds but not the missile.

I doubt if the M-551 crews fired any Shillelagh missiles in Vietnam, but they did fire the HE and AP rounds.
