      According to the Wikipedia article on the subject http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank : “The name tank first arose in British factories making the hulls of the first battle tanks: the workmen were given the impression they were constructing tracked water containers for the British Army, hence keeping the production of a fighting vehicle secret.”
