Trivia: What was the original name for tanks?
Mobile forts
Gun runs
Missile carts
Landships
Correct Answer: Landships
So why is this answer correct? : Known then as the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill established the Landships Committee in early 1915. The goal was to create fighting vessels that combined new technology in combustion engines and armor. The name “tank” was the result of secrecy that surrounded the project, which advertised as research into new water tanks.
