List,
Another interesting note about the origins of Tanks. Since they originally
had ties to the navy, there were and still are many nautical terms
associated with tanks. Think about it, hull, deck, sponson boxes, turret
some of the very first tanks even had rudders in the form of a dragged wheel
to deal with the complexities of steering a tracked vehicle......
