Yes, thank you...hadn't seen that picute before.
'Snorkle' is also not quite correct as a descriptor of mode of propulsion since it only describes the means of supplying oxygen to the crew compartment. Other then that the tank simply crawls on the bottom of the water course since it lacks buoyancy. I had a very personal description of a tank's 'affinity' for water when one slid off a bridge into 6m of water. The description of "like a stone" was applied to it's immersion technique :-)
