"Who writes this crap? If they had produced "thousands" rather than the hundreds they did produce we'd have had a much tougher time in the Atlantic and it was tough enough as it was. If they had even had the several hundred Donetz was promised he'd have before starting the war they'd have easily starved Englind into a negotiated settlement early on. "

The UK would have deployed their Pykrete carriers to deal with the subs.

Those pictures don't show the sails and rigging required when England had no oil. Were they going to be coal fired or what?

Besides, they nearly ran out of food even with the few subs the Germans had in the Atlantic for the first year of the war and those were smaller, shorter range subs. Tough to crew an iceberg or anything else when you can't feed the people required to run it and build aircraft to fly from it.

Very interesting idea, though. The Brits had a lot of those and some of them even worked.
