The AT-16 design was approved by the British Tank Board which ordered that the vehicles were to be produced directly from the wooden mock-up without the usual creation of a prototype for testing. Work began on manufacturing the vehicles after War Office placed an order for 25 vehicles to be built. These 25 assault tanks were expected to be operational and ready for combat by September 1945 under the designation "A39 Tortoise".
