What is armored landship?

Answer 1

Tanks were designed by naval architects, that is why they have naval terms to describe their parts: Hull, Bow (when they had bow machine guns), Turret, Hatches; and Back Deck. The first guns (cannons) mounted on tanks were naval guns; because only the navy had guns that could be operated from within a confined space. Army guns operated upon wheels, and rolled backward upon firing. Rolling backwards on wheels was not acceptable inside a gun turret. Therefore, since tanks never existed before, and the only moving war machine that man has ever built was the WARSHIP. It made sense to call it what it was; a LANDSHIP. After WW1, the name evolved into tank.
