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).
From what I remember they built a boathouse out of it in Canada and it stayed afloat for a good while.
that’s very neat!
