The Sinking of S.S Flopper

The Sinking of S.S Flopper was an event in 1944 during the Second World War. Despite being planned by Flopitalians to be sinked it was accidentaly sinked by a mine in the Flopinisan Blockade.
== Background on S.S Flopper ==
The S.S Flopper was an american warship which the Sogtish helped build too. The warship would be used to fight the Zabloing Navy stationed in Servaltopol, Crimea. It took a whole 4 years to build the ship. The build went quicker after Japan's bombing. The ship first set sail in September 7, 1944.
The ship had 40 crewmen and the captain was Harry Floppier.
== Before sinking ==
The ship set sail on September 7, 1944. Nothing was suspected at first. Despite the Zabloingian Invasion of Floppaslavia being a huge failure for Zabloing which would mean their downfall, the Americans seeked to help. 
Harry Floppier planned to go through the Mediterranian Sea and quietly slip through the Flopinisan Blockade. His crewmen advised him to not do that and to instead go through the river Zabloing, running through Flopnithia, Flopparus and Zabloing, However Harry said it was their only option. Going to Flopnithia would mean trouble.
The crewmen through the journey of the atlantic we're fed their supply of potatoes and bottles of water supplied by Sogtain. Once going through the Gibraltar Corridor the hunt for the S.S Flopper began.
== Near Detection ==
The Flopman-Flopch coast in Northern Africa reported a suspicious-looking ship out in the Gibraltar Corridor. However they just brushed it off saying it was probably a Flopitalian ship. 
== The Hunt ==
The S.S Flopper was closing in on the Flopinisan Blockade, Radars got turned on and steering crew got ready. They were gonna go around the Pantelleria Island because there are less mines and around Malta. Little did they know, that would be a mistake. 
The Flopnisan Coast reported a ship going around it. Once looking a bit closer, they have found out what it is. The Flopinisan Coast has turned on the radio and broadcasted an alert to the whole Flopinisan Blockade. 
"Everyone listen! An American ship called the S.S Flopper is speeding through the Flopnisan Blockade!"
This put the whole Flopinisan Blockade on alert. The S.S Flopper did not get the message but they would find out that they we're detected long ago on September 9th, 1944. The S.S Flopper just as they we're passing by the island of Zembra they got a strange message on their hands. They got a flopitalian person to translate it and it said "Sink the Flopper". They got detected. They started going at more knots ignoring that it was going to waste fuel. 
== The Sinking ==
The S.S Flopper was going across Pantelleria, just as they planned. However as they we're crossing by, they hit a mine. One that did not even get detected on the ship. After the explosion the Pantelleria island bombarded with yellow flashing lights, then multiple explosions on the ship, damaging it severely.
Evacuation Orders were brought out to every crewmen, a pack of Sogstralian soldiers which refused to leave because of the S.S Flopper had surrendered to the Flopitalians. The S.S Flopper had a quick sinking, only dissapearing in 5 minutes. Crewmen we're running on the decks lowering lifeboats as the ship listed starboard to doom.
The starboard side was soon left for nothing, a whole dock of lifeboats all sunk into the deep Flopinisan water. The port side was their only choice. It was quickly emptied out with 59% of the crewmen escaping with those. The remaining 31% we're tommorow catched by the Flopitalians and brought into captivity.
