The American Centurion armor was found aboard the USS Eldridge after it reappeared during the Philadelphia Experiment. After testing, the military decided it was too advanced to be properly duplicated and, instead, assigned it to Mason West. The American Centurion was part propoganda and part weapon. As leader of Operation: Alpha, the Centurion contributed quite a lot to the war effort. After World War II ended both Mason West and the armor vanished. The armor was found again in the year 2000 but West's fate remains unknown.
