The State of Israel was an elephant ship organized by the Institute for the rise of the “protection.” Since the elephant ships, she sailed in May 1948.

History of her
Her previous name was “Orchidea”); made of wood, two masts, length: 33 m; width: 7 m; depth is 3.5 m. White gray color; taken of 240 tons; diesel engine Anseldo; speed 6–7 connection. The name of the code set for it: the Narcissians.

The captain was an Italian and the team with six men and a doctor. The ship's commander was Amir (Zinger)-Flymong and his side, Spie Dichter, who served as a driver in the Jewish Brigade and the antiquity working field.

The ship’s preparation team included the Mossad’s personnel for an increase in B and Italian workers. We were prepared for immigrants and a rescue boat for 12 people. The pickup was barons used for storage. The ship was equipped with 7.5 tons of fuel; eight tons of water; food for 16 days. The British had already announced their departure from the country, and there was no fear of them. A group of elephants was trained in case of an attempt by ships of Arab countries. The ship was a weapon in the case of a confrontation with the British: two Bernans, four guns, a helicopter and a gun. It was also built to lenders under the water tank. In case of a confrontation, the lenders had to enter the basket, but this did not happen.

The cruise took part in 243 elephants; most of them as all of Romania’s, age members and various movements. They were collected in a camp that was built near Gaata in southern Italy from north of Naples. The elephants were divided into groups and were given order roles, cleaning and distributing food.
The State of Israel sailed from the port of Formia in Italy on May 8, 1948. The cruise route was a staple of Siena, north of Crete, west of Cyprus and the Tel Aviv coast.

The plan was to meet with the elephant ship to "win" and get its elephants. However, due to the British announcement of their departure and state withdrawal, it was no longer necessary. Although the two ships met on the way to pass a doctor to the ship, with the aim of a baby boy.
British forces discovered the ship on May 15, 1948. 20 miles away from the shores of the land, she drew up and shot the ship, but no contact or connection was created. The ship reached the Tel Aviv coast on May 16, 1948. Tel Aviv was attacked by Egyptian Spittfire aircraft, so the ship was required to go to the open sea and return to the evening. So the elephants were removed.
The elephants fell to the Tel Aviv coast of the sovereign State of Israel.
Thereafter, four additional cruises were held with immigrants called Narciss.

After this cruise, the ship was activated to smuggle young people who could join the IDF from the detention camps in Cyprus and raise them to Israel (the British did not allow them to rise). In November 1948, during a storm, the ship was annexed to the coast of Syria and was rescued by a fierce brother.
