You
know that conscientious objectors refused to be involved in the
war, so what would you think if you heard that they were involved
in building one of the most outrageous weapons in Canadian history?
You might not believe it, but its true. That's right. Without even
knowing it, a group of peace-loving conscientious objectors helped
to develop a top-secret model for the largest warship of all time.
How
big was it?
The
plans called for a giant aircraft carrier to be 610 metres (2,000
feet) long. That's two and a half times as long as the Titanic!
It was intended to be an aircraft carrier and, had it been built,
it would have displaced twenty times more water than today's largest
aircraft carrier.
But
that isn't even the most interesting part of the story. If you are
having a hard time believing this story, just wait until you hear
best part. Bullets and bombs couldn't stop this ship. Why? Because
it was made out of ice.
