Steel has been used as a tank material since the begining of scuba diving. Extremely durable and useful as a tank material but steel rusts. Buy a steel tank, assume that over the life of the tank it will cost you for a few tank tumbles to remove interior rust. Pay more for a steel tank than an aluminum one. Steel will last (almost) forever if you take care of it. There are steel tanks still in service today that were originally manufactured in the 50s. Aluminium tanks came out in the 70s. It's a softer material, the walls of aluminum tanks are thicker, making them a little larger than steel tanks of the same capacity. The big advantage of aluminum is that it doesn't rust and it's less-expensive than steel. You can find aluminum tanks cheap, for $100-150.
Steel, an alloy of iron, carbon and some other metals, is the primary metal used to construct a battle tank. There will be a number of other metals (and alloys) used to make different parts around and inside this armored vehicle, and they include aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, uranium (the depleted type, or DU) and others.
When the tanks are full of water they force O2 out of the tanks. Once the tanks empty out the water they will fill with gasses that in the water such as O2 or Co2. These gasses are palpably less dense than water so the submarine rises. I hope that helps.
Around $75 it's usually $15 for the 20lb tanks.

In Vietnam, US Army/Marine Corps M48 Patton medium tanks were built from solid cast/wielded steel (no rivets and no plates). The brand new M551 Sheridan tanks had aluminum hulls and steel turrets and guns.

What Is an aluminium plate? What are the types? Aluminum plate, machined to shape, forms the skins of jets and spacecraft fuel tanks.

Japan is an island empire and depends upon the sea for survival, as does Great Britain. Consequently, Japan & Britain were naval powers. Warships and tanks are made of steel. Japan needed steel to build warships; tanks were 3rd in priority to warships, airplanes (engines are built of steel), artillery & tanks.
