"Yeah the term has a broad use at beacon to describe combat roles. Either it means just whoever can take the most hits and actively draws attention, or sometimes a more literal comparison to an actual tank, with heavy armour and heavy firepower" Merel actually thought of herself more as the direct comparison to the vehicle as her her offensive power was far greater than her defensive. However when you have the strongest defence of the team you quickly get that label of tank regardless.

By now the terrain below them had changed again from the massive city of Vale to the vast expanse of the open ocean. they were sticking close to the coast and Merel guessed that the ship would have run aground close to the coast, explaining also how the ship could have been overrun with grimm in the first place. Most shipping routes dont come close to the shores until they enter the harbour, precicely to avoid the irregular coastline of Vytal with shifting sandbanks and shallows unfit for the larger ships, and so most likely if they had struck a sandbank it would have been relatively close to the city.
