We don’t need emotional support fish, we need tank operator fish
the loader dolphin project was a failure
A fish tank, if you will
I can’t wait to join the Army Diver Armored Division.
I wanna be an ARMDIVARMDIV!
Maybe it’s a navy tank?
SONAR CONTACT BEARING 322, DEPLOYING ABRAMS.
Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please.
COMRADE CAPTAIN, UNKNOWN AMERICAN CONTACT DIVING 50 METERS A SECOND AND TRACKS ARE CAVITATING.
Stand aside Pierre Sprey!
The Fighter Plane Mafia has nothing on…

One bullet hits the body and the crew goes deaf.
Earplugs
Do they make those for lungs?
Don’t die of spall, but die extra quick of shockwaves transmitted through water.
Make the hatch a spout and put a cope cage on top.
Simple solution: we’ll have a fishtank, but filled with air. Put it in the watertank to make the watertank mk. 2: the airwatertank tank
put some weighted (i.e. neutrally buoyant) ballpit balls in the water to disperse the shockwave.
You can pee wherever/whenever you want.
Correction: you can no longer drink the water.
Was that really your first inclination?

When this tank gets hit by a shell:
Why is there smoke coming out of your tank, Seymour?
Oh ho, no! That isn’t smoke, it’s steam! Steam from the steamed tanks we’re having! Mmm, steamed tanks!
Wait, so a shell hits a tank and it superheats the air inside? Is that real?
Only if you’re trying to prepare an unforgettable luncheon and are within view of the Aurora Borealis. /ncd
The water would heat up and boil slowly and eventually if there was a fire occuring on the outside of the tank.
If it is hit in an area which causes the tank’s armaments to explode into the crew cabin then yes you would have a Russian Instant Pot…
And you get a hot tub from all of the heat! Awesome!
You know what’s denser than water and still liquid(ish) . . . concrete
Well, until it hardens that is. /s
As a fun fact, tanks were really called that way because the British didn’t want the Germans to know what was being deployed in WW1 on the continental frontline.
Rust.
I’m not like an army guy, but I did get to ride around in a tank once, and based on that experience I’m in favor of this idea.
Everything was very hot inside the tank, the water will help with that a lot.
Eventually the water is just gonna start getting to boiling temperature and no one will notice because of the frog thing.
I know smth about this is fucking dumb, but no clue what. The added weight? The impracticality?
Tank get hole, water go out hole
Early warning of Hullfailure from smaller penetrations. Success again
Big two stick energy.
Yeah, but then you’re left with a lighter, more agile tank. It’s a win-win!
Air is a compressible fluid. Water is incompressible. Energy from shock waves will be transmitted from the hull to the crew in a much more efficient fashion.
Wait, explain that to an idiot please. Could the water pressure crush a person? It wouldn’t just go up?
Because water doesn’t compress it transfers any shockwaves straight through anybody who is in the water. This happens much faster than the water has time to move out of the way.
Sailors who are in the water after abandoning ship during naval battles are in extreme danger of dying if a bomb goes off close by.
Love the emotional support fish
