Start with your non-dominant hand flat, palm facing down, to represent the base of the tank. Form a fist with your dominant hand, but extend the index finger straight forward. Place your dominant hand resting on the back of your non-dominant hand, so the index finger points forward like a tank's gun barrel. Finally, move both hands forward together to represent the tank rolling ahead.
Sign 'army', then use the sign for 'tank', moving both hands forward deliberately to show the vehicle driving into the area.
Point to yourself, sign 'see', then sign 'tank' and emphasize its massive size with your facial expressions before signing 'museum'.
Point to the person, sign 'drive', then perform the sign for 'tank' moving forward, followed by the sign for 'military'.

No, this specific sign is only used for a military vehicle (an army tank). For a fish tank, you would typically sign 'fish' followed by the sign for 'box' or 'glass bowl' to describe the container.
Yes! Moving the hands slowly and deliberately helps convey the heavy, massive nature of a military tank. Moving too quickly might look less like a tank and more like a fast, lightweight object.
Your dominant hand should be on top forming the barrel with the index finger extended, while your non-dominant hand acts as the flat base underneath.
