Interestingly enough there was a plan to create such a thing. The plan was to construct the aircraft carrier out of ice and wood pulp so they were not just going to carve off a chunk of ice but still it was an aircraft carrier made of ice.

Canadians in Holland Ap 45

I believe this is Holten, near Appeldoorn in central Holland.

Whilst my dad was in the army, we lived in Holland for a short time (1968-69), before moving on to Geilenkirchen, just over the border in Germany.
Happy days.
