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 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ 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. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host 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 web host'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 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 (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.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they 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 23:54, 31 July 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.

((Short description|Dry dock in Hamburg, Germany))
((more citations needed|date=January 2021))
[[File:Hamburg blohm Voss Dock Elbe 17 01 (raboe).jpg|thumb|right|((MS|Brilliance of the Seas)) in '''Elbe 17''' (2008).]]
'''Elbe 17''' is the third largest [[dry dock]] in [[Germany]], located in [[Hamburg]] ([[Germany]]) and administrated by shipbuilding company [[Blohm + Voss]]. Completed in 1942 at a length of 351 meters and a width of 59 meters. It was originally intended for the construction of the massive [[H-class battleship proposals|H-class battleships]].

During [[World War II]], it was used for repair work only and also served as an air shelter (housing up to 6000 people). After the war, the huge floatable metal gate was scrapped and the dock served as a berth. The [[Allied-occupied Germany#British Zone of Occupation|British occupation forces]] originally planned to demolish the dock in January 1950, but popular protests and fears that the demolition would damage the nearby [[Elbe Tunnel (1911)|tunnel under the Elbe]] caused the dock to be preserved.<ref>[http://www.zeit.de/1950/18/elbe-17 Die Zeit, May 1950]</ref>

On December 12, 1967, construction of a new gate was completed and the first ship to enter the dock was the 190,000 ton tanker ((ship||Myrina|ship|2)). Today, the dock is primarily used for refurbishing and repairing ships, although it can also be used for the construction of new vessels. The dock was notably used to perform maintenance on very large ships such as the container ship ''[[Sovereign Maersk]]'' (347&nbsp;m long and 42.8&nbsp;m wide), the cruise ship ''[[MS Freedom of the Seas|Freedom of the Seas]]'' (339&nbsp;m long, 56&nbsp;m wide), and the ''[[Queen Mary 2]]'' (66,000&nbsp;t, 345&nbsp;m long, 41&nbsp;m wide)
