Habakkuk III as a smaller faster berg ship

What is known about Habakkuk III?

It was a proposed smaller, faster, cheaper, and quicker-to-build derivative of the roughly 2.2-million-ton Habakkuk II concept.

Habakkuk II sets the scale: roughly 2,000 feet long, 300 feet wide, and about 2.2 million tons. That slow pykrete carrier would function as a manufactured floating iceberg. Habakkuk III attempted to retain the berg-ship idea while reducing construction time and cost and improving speed. Even the smaller derivative remained an extraordinary mega-ship concept rather than a conventional carrier design.
