I rather like the idea of a 'Pykrete' beast. It would act as a 'weapons sink' in the way that the new Russian super hardened shelters would soak up ICBMs in any attempted all-out assault on Russia. Plenty of space for over-lapping weapons systems as well..............
There was a novel called 'Firelance' in which a maximum visibility but hard to kill 'Nemesis' class ship was envisaged (minus Pykrete and with cruise missiles instead of guns). I think it took an orbital nuclear strike and a nuclear smart torpedo to take it out:))
