You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.24.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((nihongo|'''Kure Naval Arsenal'''|呉海軍工廠|Kure Kaigun Kosho)) was one of four principal naval [[shipyard]]s owned and operated by the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]].

==History==
[[File:Yamato battleship under fitting-out works.jpg|thumb|Battleship ''[[Japanese battleship Yamato|Yamato]]'' under construction at Kure Naval Arsenal, 1941]]
[[File:Kure midget subs1.jpg|thumb|[[Midget submarines]] in a [[drydock]] at Kure, 1945]]
((More citations needed section|date=April 2022))
The [[Kure Naval District]] was established at [[Kure, Hiroshima]] in 1889, as the second of the naval districts responsible for the defense of the [[Japanese home islands]]. Along with the establishment of the navy base, a ship repair facility was also constructed, initially by moving the equipment from the Onohama shipyards near [[Kobe]]. Construction was supervised by the [[o-yatoi gaikokujin|French engineer]] [[Louis-Émile Bertin]]. The first warship constructed at Kure, ''[[Miyako (ship)|Miyako]]'', was launched in 1897. The "Kure Shipyards" were officially renamed the "Kure Naval Arsenal" in 1903.

Kure developed into one of the largest shipbuilding facilities in the [[Empire of Japan]], capable of working with the largest vessels. The Arsenal included a major [[steel works]] (built with British assistance), and also facilities for producing [[naval artillery]] and projectiles. The [[battleship]]s ''[[Japanese battleship Yamato|Yamato]]'' and ''[[Japanese battleship Nagato|Nagato]]'' were designed and constructed at Kure.

The facilities of the Kure Naval Arsenal were [[Bombing of Kure|repeatedly bombed]] by the [[United States Navy]] and [[United States Army Air Forces]] during the [[Pacific War]], and over 70% of its buildings and equipment was destroyed.

After the [[surrender of Japan]] in 1945, the Kure Naval Arsenal was turned over to civilian hands.

==Current facilities==
The extensive dry dock, ship building, repair and engineering facilities are now owned and operated by [[Japan Marine United]], one of Japan's largest merchant marine and naval shipbuilders.
