Ice Cream Ships and World War II
During World War II, the US Navy had at least three floating warehouses in Pacific to serve Ice Cream to troops. How amazing is that? I became seriously curious and I tried to find more about it. Unfortunately, there isn’t a load of information available on it online. I thought sharing whatever little I could find would make a nice first post by me here. It would be awesome if anyone can add more information to this so interesting piece of history.
