In September 1939 the General Staff requested the engineering firm Harland and Wolff in Belfast to design an extra large infantry tank based on World War I principles; this was designated the A20. These were the designers and builders of the *unsinkable* R.M.S.Titanic
That does not seem to be the way to inspire a world of confidence in one's vehicle.... -archy-/-

Just a small point re: RMS Titanic.
The White Star Line NEVER claimed she was unsinkable, it was the press that made and trumpeted this canard. When she went down, of course the press was shocked, shocked I tell you. The White Star board was blamed for something they had no control over.
