The ice cannon was a idea somebody had about using the spray system for hull repair to try and freeze other ships.I don't think it would have had much range at all and most likely would be next to useless but maybe they knew something they weren't telling, who knows.I've never seen any drawing for it or specs and think it was just an idea and no more.They originally thought you could use it freeze the top of an enemy ship by spraying it and hopefully jamming turret rings and freezing hatches shut ultimately causing the ship to capsize from top weight build up.And I'm thinking lightly armed ones at that.Let's face it, if you tried that thing on with a BB it would have blown you out of your shoes before you got one shot off with that thing.It seemed to me to be a complete waste of time because the whole point was using massive air cover to ensure no surface ship or plane could get close enough.Only u-boats could sneak up on it.Also the design called for 40 twin barreled cannons on it.I think the conventional guns would have been the better choice and they had much better range.I think you would have a better chance of getting the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to work than the ice cannon.And you may be right on the spelling.I have seen it spelled 2 or 3 different ways and I think there are a few different ways the ships name was spelled that I've seen too.But I think the original name was pykrete because it was named after the inventor and the man we have to thank for this madness Geoffrey Pyke.Then again, I may be wrong.
