It was simply called the 'Ice Cream Barge' and there were two.
They were commissioned in 1945 at a then cost of one million dollars each. They concrete, yes concrete, hulled with no engine. They were tugged around they produce 1,500 gallons of ice cream every hour they were in service. One was moved around the Pacific region while the other was anchored off Naha, Okinawa.
