Great work Alex.
I gather this is the ice-carrier, but your gun mountings are wrong, and AFAIK she was never designed with 6" guns.

As I understand it she wouldn't be painted.

Incredible :shock: But it was seriously suggested as a useful platform for anti-submarine warfare, loitering Mid-Atlantic. And yes, somehow you'll need to indicate that its made mostly from ice (maybe some Polar Bears might help) Good luck :D

They determined it was unfeasible because it would take more steel to build the refrigeration plant necessary to build it than it would take to build the ship out of steel to start with. ;)
