There is a strong tendency for such a vehicle to be called a Dreadnought. It is The Dreaded when it comes to large-scale vehicle combat. It's a fleet unto itself, it changes the face of the battle just by showing up, and conventional wisdom is that it can only be taken down by something just as powerful as it is. It's the biggest, baddest, meanest thing flying (or walking, or rarely rolling), packed with weapons, armored ( and possibly shielded) to withstand a whole other fleet's worth of firepower, and may be The Battlestar on top of it all. When dealing with navies (or, occasionally, armies with vehicle support) in fictional settings, there is usually one class of vehicle that just outclasses everything else.
