Yes, one is preserved at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, and another in France. No, it never fired an Atomic shell, I can confirm that for sure, unless it's in some highly classified document. I live about 20 minutes from APG and do some work for the government there, and I've crawled around on that thing - the pictures don't do it justice. It's simply huge.
