Sinking a ship full of tanks is more efficient than shooting them one at a time, so I think it might be subs.
Interesting entry.

It is indeed subs - during the Second World War only 4% of tank losses were caused by other tanks. In fact, when they first entered the war in North Africa, US army doctrine was that tanks should not engage enemy tanks - but sadly the Germans hadn't got that memo.
(Of course, all countries had tactical teething problems when first entering the war, hence the truism that 'no plan survives contact with the enemy')

And nowadays you can use a small drone to quietly drop something explosive into the open hatch on top.
