Did you know that during World War Two the Allies were considering building Aircraft Carriers out of ice? The allies were considering using a material known as pycrete which is as strong as concrete. The ships would have been 2000 feet long and virtually indestructable.

Virtually indestructable? Isn't that what they said about the Titanic?
