	jordoncooper.com: Project Habakkuk
		I don't know if any of you have ever heard of this but Project Habakkuk was an attempt to built an unsinkable aircraft carrier out of ice during WWII.
		The Habakkuk, as proposed to Winston Churchill by Lord Mountbatten and Geoffrey Pyke in December 1942, was to be approximately 2,000 feet long and 300 feet wide, with a deck-to-keel depth of 200 feet, and walls 40 feet thick.
		It became essential that the Americans were brought into the project as they would be needed to supply large quantities of steel for the vessel.

	Project Habakkuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Project Habakkuk (actually misspelled as Habbakuk — see below) was a plan by the British in World War II to construct an aircraft carrier out of ice, for use against German U-boats in the mid-Atlantic, which was out of range of land-based planes.
		The Habakkuk, as proposed to Winston Churchill by Lord Mountbatten and Geoffrey Pyke in December 1942, was to be approximately 2,000 feet long and 300 feet wide, with a deck-to-keel depth of 200 feet, and walls 40 feet thick
		The Habakkuk was imagined to be virtually unsinkable as it would have effectively been a streamlined iceberg or floating island kept afloat by the buoyancy of its construction materials, and to be highly resilient to damage by virtue of its sheer bulk.

	Habakkuk
		Habakkuk was a prophet in the Bible Old Testament and Jewish Tanach.
		Project Habbakuk was a British World War II plan to costruct an "unsinkable" aircraft carrier out of ice, for use against German U-boats.
		However, it was projected to take $70 million and 8000 people working for 8 months to construct, an expenditure which the British were unwilling to make at the time on such an experimental craft.

	Habakkuk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Habakkuk was a prophet in the Bible Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh.
		He was the eighth of the twelve minor prophets, and likely the author of the Book of Habakkuk, which bears his name.
		Practically nothing is know about Habakkuk's personal history, and all tha we surmise is inferred from the text of his book, which consists of five oracles about the Chaldeans (Assyrians) and a song of praise to God.

	Pykrete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its use was proposed during World War II by Geoffrey Pyke to the Royal Navy as a candidate material for making a huge, unsinkable aircraft carrier, Project Habakkuk, actually more of a floating island than a ship in the traditional sense.
		Pyke managed to convince Lord Mountbatten of the worth of his project (actually prior to the invention of Pykrete) some time around 1942, and trials were made in two locations in Alberta in Canada.
		Another tale is that at the Quebec Conference of 1943 Mountbatten brought a block of Pykrete along to demonstrate its potential to the entourage of admirals and generals who had come along with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

		HMS Habakkuk was the drawing-board name given to the brainchild of Geoffrey Pike, a cousin apparently of the one-time TV eccentric Magnus Pike.
		Habakkuk was to be 600 metres long with walls of solid ice 10 metres thick.
		The Habakkuk project was abandoned with the ending of the war in Europe.

		So, what we're finding Habakkuk saying to us here is that truth for those times of trouble, this is the golden nugget, the secret as such, he is saying the righteous will live, this is how we are to live out our lives, the righteous will live by faith.

	WPC - World Prayer Centre, Birmingham, England -
		The tenderness of Habakkuk’s heart is very evident in his praying; he not only saw injustice but felt it so much that he could scarcely bear the sight of it.
		God’s reply to Habakkuk’s question was simple, yet unanswerable: Babylon would be the agent of his judgement, but the day would come when Babylon itself would feel the wrath of God’s judgement on its own sins.
		Habakkuk learned afresh that God’s eyes were always on the nations, weighing them, using them, judging them and always acting towards them with righteousness.

		Habakkuk is the story of a question written against the pain of ancient Israel's struggles with internal injustice, military defeat, desperation, decimation, deportation and destruction.
		Some might consider Habakkuk's exuberant pledge to rejoice in God even when there is famine and utter desolation in the land, foolish gibberish.
		Habakkuk can now wait for God because he has already seen that for which he waits.

		Project Habakuk was a project of the British Military during World War II.
		This was to be the start of one of the most bizarre projects of WWII, one that would involve dozens of scientists and engineers across Canada in a wacky scheme to build an aircraft carrier out of ice.
		It appeared the main reason for this was in 1943 the allies began to obtain the upper hand in the Battle of the Atlantic.

		Pykrete is a composite material made of 14% wood pulp and ice, invented by Geoffrey Nathaniel Pyke and proposed during World War II to the Royal Navy as a candidate material for making a huge, unsinkable aircraft carrier (Project Habakkuk), actually more of a floating island than a ship in the traditional sense.
		Pyke managed to convince Lord Mountbatten of the worth of his project some time around 1942, and trials were made in two locations in Alberta in Canada.
		Thus a small pilot project was given the go ahead but the main Project Habakkuk was never put into action.

		Many projects that were developed were successful, such as the bouncing bomb by Barnes Wallis, midget submarines, mulberry harbours and the Pipe Line Under The Ocean (PLUTO) project.
		One such idea was that of an iceberg aircraft carrier, and this project was enthusiastically endorsed by both Mountbatten and Churchill.
		It became essential that the Americans were brought into the project as they would be needed to supply large quantities of steel for the vessel.

		It is the story of a forgotten man who was one of the greatest geniuses of the last century, the wonderfully eccentric 'Professor' Geoffrey Pyke, whose scheme it was to make immense berg-ships out of ice.
		But in the end military bureacracy prevailed: the plug was pulled on Project Habbakuk, and it melted away.
		Habbakuk was his most ambitious project, and watching it being built in the lake here was the greatest time of his life.

		There is an article on the project that has a good description of it and the actual time sequence.
		For a start, as the project had been initiated — with Churchill's blessing — before Pykrete was invented, he wouldn't have needed to convince him that way.
		Enough of the department's projects were successful, though, (like the Hedgehog and Double-L Sweep) that they did contribute to the war effort in a major way.

	Project Habakkuk: Interesting Thing of the Day
		This new material was quickly seen as key to the success of Project Habakkuk, which by that point was seeming increasingly problematic based on the results of the Patricia Lake tests.
		All these facts made Project Habakkuk seem like a waste of resources, and by early 1944, research was halted—before construction of the full-size carrier even began.
		Sir Charles Goodeve, Assistant Controller of Research and Development for the British Admiralty, was an outspoken critic of Project Habakkuk during the war; shortly thereafter, he spelled out his objections in The Ice Ship Fiasco.

		Upon Churchill's insistance, Project Habbakuk goes forward, and attempt are made in the winter of 1942 to build a prototype Habbakuk boat.
		The Habbakuk boat is, in keeping with the original idea to combine the roles of battleship and troop carrier, being made wide and with shallow draft, to support massive batteries of big guns and lots of troops.
		The project is quietly abandoned, and the world's first and only Habbakuk boat rapidly turns to slush in drydock.

		In early 1943 two American professors discovered that a very tough material could be produced by adding a small amount of wood pulp to water before freezing.
		The requirement of this project was to determine ways to reinforce large ice units.
		The work at Lake Louise indicated that a hull at least 35 feet thick, would be needed to contain damage from bombs and torpedoes.

		In this case, the Llangollen canal, which connects three major rivers—the Dee, the Severn, and the Mersey—was originally part of the Ellesmere canal, a route built to connect the coalfields and ironworks of the town of Wrexham with the sea.
		These projects were sparked by the opening of the Bridgewater canal in 1761, created by the third Duke of Bridgewater (a great example of an aptonym if ever there was one) to provide an efficient means of transporting coal from his coalmines in Lancashire to the booming industrial city of Manchester.

	Perutz on Pykrete
		(Interestingly he never mentions the name "Habakkuk".) The paper wasn't published in the Society's journal until a year and a half later, but reading it now demolishes a lot of the mythology that has grown up around Pykrete and Project Habakkuk.
		In his introduction he makes clear that the original idea was to carve either an arctic iceberg or an ice floe into a suitable shape to provide a runway and hangar space for planes.
		So the project came to a quiet, and not very glorious, end.
