There seems to be a running gag going on with the word "Tank". James Garner played a character here called "Tank" Sullivan. Garner also played the lead role in Tank (1984). Clint Eastwood fought a character called "Tank Murdoch" in Every Which Way but Loose (1978) and Donald Sutherland played a Tank commander called "Oddball" in Kelly's Heroes (1970), a movie which also starred Clint Eastwood.

Frank Corvin, ‘Hawk’ Hawkins, Jerry O'Neill and ‘Tank’ Sullivan were hotdog members of Project Daedalus, the Air Force's test program for space travel, but their hopes were dashed in 1958 with the formation of NASA and the use of trained chimps. They blackmail their way into orbit when Russia's mysterious ‘Ikon’ communications satellite's orbit begins to degrade and threatens to crash to Earth.
