SCP-4217 - Contain The Bismarck

Published 2022-06-13
SCP 4217 is a Keter Class anomaly also known as Contain The Bismarck.

SCP-4217 refers to both Bismarck (henceforth SCP-4217-A), an anomalous German battleship sunk on 1941-05-27, and the large cephalopod organism that is fused to the inside of its hull (henceforth SCP-4217-B). SCP-4217-B possesses a pair of octopoid eyes which protrude from the base of SCP-4217-A's superstructure, and twelve 100- to 200-meter-long muscular hydrostats that extend from an opening in the stern. Aside from the presence of SCP-4217-B, SCP-4217-A shows no signs of damage sustained from battle or subsequent decades submerged underwater.

SCP4217 typically remains submerged at a depth of 500-1100 meters, navigating its territory. However, SCP-4217 will periodically surface and enter a Hostile State.

  • The closer they get to the bismarck they just hear inside: “What is that?” “Sounds like music, maybe rock.” In the distance they hear Bismarck by Sabaton. When the sub gets close they see just the band playing on the deck.

    As said in the video, SCP-4217 may be attacking ships following its assignment from the Nazis. The ship would be following orders. Knowing this could you cross test SCP-4217 with SCP-2430 the immortal hitler clone? SCP-4217 could see the clone as its leader. If the hitler clone was given communication with SCP-4217 there could possibly be a chance it would surrender?

    I great now I’m gonna be singing “sink the Bismarck” in my head whenever I see SCP explained. Thanks for triggering my synesthesia.
  • @GamingwolfZJ
    As someone who’s favorite warship is Bismarck and loves the story behind it, this is one of my most favorite SCP’s
  • So it's a giant squid that wears a shell to protect it. It's just so big it's wearing a ship.
  • @joeycrosby167
    As a certified nerd of naval warfare, SCP 4217 is my absolute favorite SCP that I've discovered thus far and hope that there are more like 4217 out there, or hopefully some will be inspired by 4217 to write those entries
  • @SutekinaLovely
    I fall asleep to these, this guy has a great voice and is great at story telling
  • @aaronoetomo5159
    A little inaccuracy, the Bismarck never actually made it to the deep Atlantic and was never able to prey on shipping before the battle of the Denmark strait.
  • @derkatwork33
    I like that these videos are longer and able to provide greater context than older ones.
  • Somehow, that drone with the extendable chainsaw reminds me of R2-D2's saw that he used to cut through the Ewok net
  • I still find it hilarious after all these years later that a damaged rudder stuck in a turn sunk the Bismarck that battle may have been different if it could actually move
  • @Serpentking789
    I'm guessing the redacted SCP that was used to neutralize the Bismarck's psionic field was the Telekill Alloy
  • @Lorkanthal
    If you are going to send in an unmanned drone to check out the inside of the ship at least arm it with a nuclear kill switch so if the thing wakes up and severs the connection you can take it out before it attacks anything.
  • In May of 1941 the war had just begun. The Germans had the biggest ship, they had the biggest guns. The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea. On her deck were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees Edit: The amount of people who don't get this is sad. Search up Johnny Horton- Sink the Bismark

    The 05 council caring about civilian casualties legitimately shocked me 😂😂
