Ice cream barge

Ice cream barge

The ice cream barge is the colloquial term for the BRL (Barge, Refrigerated, Large). This was a towed vessel employed by the United States Navy (USN) in the Pacific theater of World War II to store frozen and refrigerated foodstuffs. It was also able to produce ice cream in large quantities to be provisioned to sailors and US Marines. The craft, a concrete barge acquired from the US Army and worth one million dollars,[1][2] stored 1500 tons of frozen meat and 500 tons of refrigerated vegetables, eggs and dairy products, indefinitely at 15 °F (−9 °C). To raise the morale of overseas troops, an ice cream freezer facility was included, able to create 10 US gallons (38 L) of ice cream every seven minutes, or approximately 500 US gal (1,900 L) per shift (equivalent to five tons per day), and could store 2,000 US gal (7,600 L).[3][4][5] It was employed in the USN's Western Pacific area of operations, at one point anchored at Naval Base Ulithi.[6] The army built three concrete barges of their own.[7]
