The Word "Tank"

 

During World War I, the British "Landships Committee" changed their title to keep their new vehicles secret and not so obvious. They went with "water carriers" and "tanks." That's also why tanks have so many "nautical" component names, such as bow, hatch, hull and sponson.

motors were common in tanks by WWII, they were backup devices in many tanks (such as Germany's), or used if the engine was already warm.
