Why the U.S. Navy built a barge just for ice cream, and what it did to Japanese morale.
Why the U.S. Navy built a barge just for ice cream, and what it did to Japanese morale. In the sweltering heat of Ulithi Atoll, 1944, the U.S. Navy deployed a secret weapon unlike any other: a $1 million concrete barge converted into a floating ice cream factory.

Dive into the BRL barge's absurd, brilliant story, from fleet commerce to Tokyo Bay surrender.
