Yup, that is a battleship for scale...
For those who didn't know, the 'iceberg carrier' was seriously considered by the UK during the war but was scrubbed due to the better alternatives that had developed for hunting U-boats, and the sheer amount of resources that would be needed...
Project Habakkuk
For those of you who don't know, stop. Gorns live extraordinary long lives. While those geniuses were planning a carrier made of ice, I was planning a carrier made of pumice. I think my plan rules! In fact, Iceland would likely take over the world if they had just listened to me.
Pumice may be really light, but isn't it a little .... holier than thou?
