== Poorly Worded Section ==

This bit here:

Air-cushion supported Mega-Floaters are mega floaters that are supported by an air cushion. They were invented by Jan Van Kessel of TU Delft.

It would be better to just say: Air-cushion supported Mega-Floaters were invented by Jan Van Kessel of TU Delft.

The first sentence is 100% redundant and doesn't provide meaningful information. Maybe if it were describing their operation or providing additional information, but it's just restating the same thing twice.

Iceberg aircraft carrier

Doesn't Project Habakkuk, the British plan to build a huge iceberg-like floating aircraft platform to base in the Mid-Atlantic to fight U-boats during WWII, count as a variation of a VLFS? Or does the fact that it's made from ice mean it can't count as a "structure". It's made by man, out of a mixture of ice and wood pulp called Pykrete, so it's not naturally occurring. And I recall it being pretty big....45Colt 09:30, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
