[TROUT][QUESTION] Is there a tanker in the movie?
a bit confused

People say there is a tanker in the movie. Is there and when/where?
I know of the tanker in the manga.
And can I get a good definition of tanker, is it civilian or military?

At the beginning, they show it on the news, and later, when they're crossing the bridge and Hud zooms on the Statue of Liberty, he pans over to the tanker.

And to answer the second part of the question, a tanker is a a ship, airplane, or truck designed for bulk shipment of liquids or gases.

They are usually civilian, the one in the movie was a civilian tanker owned by the Tagruato corporation. (The logo is visible on the hull/heli platform)

oh dang... isnt that a huge deal that its a tagruato tanker? im yet to see a thread discussing why its there. I thought it was just a regular tanker.

And you also see a Tagruato tanker carrying the monster in the manga.
