ATTENTION! ATTENTION! Medical staff would like to remind all crew that the creation of pykrete buttplugs, onaholes, and chastity cages is unadviseable! Please report all anal or genital frostbite cases immediately!

All /pol/estians will be set adrift 100 km offshore with minimal provisions when we get near Mumbai.

Stop jerking off in the showers you fucks! You're feeding the ooze in the pipes and it's already hard enough to contain it.

GERMANY CALLING
YOU CANNOT WIN, TOMMY
PROJECT 'V2' WILL SINK YOUR PATHETIC ICE SHIP
YOU WILL SINK LIKE TITANIC
I THINK I WOULD LIKE YOUR SHIP WITH SOME NICE COGNAC
HAHAHAHA

I miss RTWanon and the pasta navy. Maybe we could cryosleep until he comes back.

>problem
German U-boats are attacking shipping in the atlantic
>solution
use aircraft for ASW
>problem
land-based aircraft only have a limited range, resulting in the Mid-Atlantic Gap where they can't operate
>solution
fuckhuge aircraft carrier
>problem
not enough steel/aluminum to spare
>solution
making it out of ice would require a fraction of the resources and energy (with the added bonus of being repairable using seawater)
>problem
ice is too weak
>solution
mixing wood pulp into the water makes it as strong as the equivalent weight of concrete, so long as it's kept frozen
>problem
requirements keep growing, the project is getting too expensive, and it requires more steel reinforcement than anticipated
>solution
The mid-atlantic gap got closed anyway by longer-ranged aircraft and escort carriers

Err Captain, how are we going to sail into Dresden?

>>64298427
One of those with B24s on it in mid Atlantic would remove all U-boats in a week or so. As it happens there was no need for something so big.

FUCKING WOODWORMS ARE EATING THE KEEL!

It was just that one turbo autist who wrote and submitted a paper about pykrete.
(The bongs had a kind of Army University Press forum where people could contribute ideas for consideration, a lot of what became established doctrine was started this way. It is also the logic behind the whole English-language military biographies genre to this day, a place where soldiers can contribute ideas and record their experiences and criticism)

The RN evaluated the idea and dismissed it as wildly impractical, but not before doing some calculations and concluding that carrier efficiency just keeps growing with size even up to Habakkuk scale, which is a useful finding for carrier doctrine to this day.

That is, in terms of carrier sortie efficiency, bigger is ALWAYS better.
This is the one useful contribution of Project Habakkuk.

>>64296884
it would suck to be a nazi time-traveler going back to help Germany win the war. Give them information to win the Battle of the Atlantic and then in 1947 the U.S. nukes Berlin with a bomber launched from an artificial iceberg.
>>
>>64299177
The B-47 first flight was in 1947. They wouldn't have needed the iceberg.
