HABAKKUK, British codename for the construction of a 600 m. (2,000 ft.) carrier from 1.7 million tons of frozen sea water mixed with sawdust. It was the idea of Geoffrey Pyke, a
Combined Operations scientist who called the material Pykrete. A successful 18 m. (60 ft.) prototype was produced in Canada and Pykrete was successfully demonstrated by
Mounbatten (who fired a revolver at it) at the Quebec conference in August 1943 (see
QUADRANT). It was never developed, but detractors of Combined Operations thought the scheme far less crazy than the
MULBERRIES, the artificial harbours constructed for the Normandy landings (see
OVERLORD).
