Item #: SCP-4456-D Object Class: Keter Decommissioned Special Containment Procedures (Archived): SCP-4456 is contained in a Size 4 Anomalous Aquatic Vehicle Storage Unit (S4-AAVSU) in Site-45. After every reproduction incident, the new SCP-4456 instance is to be provided with 2,500 pounds of pure silver. Description: SCP-4456-D was an unmanned 16th-century Spanish galleon named "Soy Mi Amante"1. In terms of appearance, SCP-4456-D was no different from ships of its model during the 1500s. Every four to six days, an exact copy of SCP-4456-D would be generated in the nearest area of water that could hold it. If the new SCP-4456-D instance was ever provided with approximately $519,0002 in gold, silver, or gemstones, it would instantly disappear. If an SCP-4456-D instance was not supplied with sufficient resources within twenty-four hours of manifestation, it would animate and become hostile, attempting to breach containment via ramming and on-board cannons. Addendum 4456.1: During investigation into SCP-4456-D's origins, Foundation researchers discovered the following document, dating to circa 1500 C.E.: Open Document 4456-A Addendum 4456.2: To determine where items placed on board SCP-4456-D would go, ten silver coins, designed as exact copies were created and installed with microtrackers placed within each coin. After the coins had been placed aboard an SCP-4456-D instance, the tracking receiver was activated, and immediately detected all Foundation coins in the Museo Nacional del Prado. Investigation revealed that the Museum had carried the coins since 1827. Further research by the Anomalous Chronology Department found that every time a new SCP-4456-D instance was provided with sufficient resources to disappear, the Spanish government's wealth would be retroactively increased by the value of the resources placed aboard the instance. While the exact repercussions of Foundation actions were inconclusive, it is widely speculated that the Foundation may have been at least partially responsible for Spain's Price Revolution3. Due to the large amount of money lost to SCP-4456-D, as well as the potential violation of laws outlined in the FIR Convention4, SCP-4456-D was proposed for Decommissioning5. The following proposal was submitted to the newly created Decommissioning Department: Open Decom. Proposal 4456 Addendum 4456.3: SCP-4456-D was approved for Decommissioning. The Decommissioning consisted of SCP-4456-D being incinerated completely; any remains in the form of ash or char spontaneously disappeared. Decommissioning of SCP-4456-D was officially declared a success.
