Hmmm.. It still misses the ''pykryte'' look, above the waterline it would have looked a lot like floating woodpulp as well. One thing is for sure, this is a difficult one.

OOOO... nice, that gives me an idea. Put 50,000 azipods on Greenland and then go U-boat hunting...

No. They were technology demonstrators to see if it was even possible to make a ship out of pycrete. If they had been successfull, then initial planning of the haakuk would have started. Without the data from the tests they wouldn't have the data to design it. However, by the time the tests were concluded more conventional, and far cheaper, means had been developed.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

Nice progress Alex, it is a very hard subject to draw, but the guns are still wrong. You used the 5.25" guns (like on the Dido class AA cruisers), but should have used mountings like those on HMS Victorious here, as these are 4.5"/50 mountings used by the RN during the war on carriers.

I wonder if when the pycrete melted, if the flight deck/superstructor portion would still float?

Possible not.
The superstructure(inner part below flight deck, hangar, rooms etc etc) is like a nimitz class wide, and the rest is pycrete around it.
The rest on top of that superstructure is like 5 times the weight of a nimitz class, i think even more.

Embarked on: HNLMS Karel Doorman A833
To do list:
-Zeven Provincien class cruiser
-Joint support ship all sides
-F124 Sachsen class frigate
-F125 Baden-Württemberg class frigate
-Clemencau class aircraft carrier
-Zeven provincien class frigate
-Poolster class AOR
-Amsterdam class AOR
-Minas Gerais aircraft carrier

Pycrete, however, does not melt, which is what allowed this thing to at least be theoretically possible. Or at the very least, it would require conditions that are seldom encountered operationally if at all.

Some idea"s ALVAMA, for improve details

Okay
I'll use ideas from Hood's Malta.
