A tag for a decommissioned 
tank which generally remains in one place. Often a tourist attraction, monument, or gate guardian. A tank is an armoured motor vehicle designed for front-line combat. Manoeuvrability is provided by tracks rather than rubber tyres. The main gun is mounted in a rotating turret.
How to map
Place a node 
at the location of the tank or draw an area 
for the outline and use historic=tank. You can also name it with name=*. If the tank is a tourist attraction, then add tourism=attraction.
For a covered tank use covered=* or on a separate area building=roof.
Warnings
- Occasionally, decommissioned tanks and other military vehicles are used to commemorate people or events, which can be indicated by a name or an inscription somewhere on the installation. In this case, war_memorial=yes can be used. Do not tag tanks that commemorate nothing as memorials.
- For historic vehicles which are not tanks see historic=vehicle
