Would you even need a tank at an naval HQ? Especially one with magical transforming fleet girls? Unless of course that tank is actually a little girl as well, just transformed.

Or just some old relic for decoration.

A tank in a garden is cool, trust me !

Military hardware that transforms into cute girls.

Not sure if this would be Michael Bay's biggest dream, or biggest nightmare...

If little girls, nightmare. If Megan Fox, biggest dream.

Akitsu Maru is an army transport ship, the tank might be a hamfisted means to remind people that she's from a different branch.

Guys, guys...

They just got attacked on land (And are still recovering judging by the bandages and the construction going on). I wouldn't be surprised if they moved some tanks (and other army hardware) over.

Fleet girls (at least in the Tonda-verse) are probably less effective on land, given that they can't deploy their ocean fit-outs (unless they want to risk turning into a damaged, immovable gun battery).

Granted, the IJN (which the Kancolle Admiralty is based on) has its own tanks and marines, but I guess you don't pull any punches when your base get attacked.

(Plus the army is probably itching for action since they are usually nearly useless against the Abyssals anyway)

Tank and strike witches, fleet girls, and anthropomorphized guns as infantrymen. Throw in some tank club members too while you are at it.

They have land fit-outs, which is when they're wearing their normal kancolle equipment. The abyssal admiral attacked them completely out of the blue.

True, but I think he was talking about "effectiveness" as it pertained to aiding the rebuilding and reconstruction efforts.

this can give a nice Idea for spin-offs and expanded universe.

In my town, we have a tank in the playground right at one of the entrances to town.

In Upotte!!, where all the girls are anthropomorphic guns, there was an instance where it was strongly implied that tanks were also girls.

Funny story: the IJN actually had a tank stationed in front of the Navy Ministry building for most of WW2.

Not because they were worried about Allied commandos or anything, they just wanted to be prepared if the Army tried to attack them. Which seemed likely numerous times.
