Brigadier General A G Gillespie notes Army Ordnance uses turtle inspired firestreaming in armored vehicles. Sloped armor minimizes direct fire surface, causes enemy shells to ricochet, comparing to automobile streamlining for reduced wind resistance. Myrtle the Turtle receives the Army Ordnance service ribbon.
