Tanks for the memories.
When military tanks were being developed, they were called 'water tanks' (as opposed to 'landships') to conceal their true purpose for secrecy.
Also, because their metal hulls looked like large water tanks.

Comments
'Tanking' in sports means 'losing on purpose,' which is similar to the phrase 'taking a dive.'
Where do you dive?
Tanks.
Just spelt differently.
If Merriam-Webster can update the dictionary in accordance with new reality.
This will be greatly appreciated.
