Concept Warship



Iceberg Warship 

"Developed during World War II, the Habakkuk was used by British and Canadian forces as a way to introduce a new kind of aircraft carrier that would combat German U-boats in the Mid-Atlantic. The carrier would have been made of a material called Pykrete, which was a combination of wood pulp and water that, when frozen, could be molded and held up to melting temperatures far longer than ice. While a scale model of a Pykrete carrier was considered for a time, the project eventually fell out of favor for a variety of reasons and never truly reached fruition."
