    Tanks have to be one of the worst possible applications of steam power. Then again, I suppose the high probability of a boiler explosion when it runs out of water in the middle of a battle could be seen as a “feature.”

      T(h)anks! Seeing that post, I thought “was the mark something steam powered”. Turns out, no, but now there’s at least two rabbit holes I’m tempted to go read.
