Mark I Tank

The British] Mark I Tank was a tracked vehicle developed by the British Army during World War I and the world's first combat tank, entering service in August 1916. It was the first vehicle to be named "tank", as an expedient to maintain secrecy and to disguise its true purpose. A requirement was found for two types of armament, so Mark Is were armed either with 6 pounder guns and four machine guns and called "Male" or two Vickers machine guns instead of the 6 pounders and called "Female."

The Mark I was used in a British counter attack in Canada with great effect, driving the US army from it's possitions. Other versions of the Mark I were exported to the Confederacy.

John Moss thought the design bizzar, but understood it once he saw it in action, while Jake Featherston didn't think it looked all that impressive.
