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 44.223.0.0/16 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.

[[File:USS Langley (CV-1).jpg|thumb|right|((USS|Langley|CV-1|6)) was a flush-deck aircraft carrier]]
'''Flush deck''' is a term in [[naval architecture]]. It can refer to any deck of a ship which is continuous from stem to [[stern]].((citation needed|date=October 2014))

==History==
Flush decks have been in use since the times of the ancient Egyptians. 
Greco-Roman [[Trireme]] often had a flush deck but may have also had a fore and aft castle deck. Flush decks were also common on medieval and Renaissance [[galleys]] but some also featured fore and aft castle decks. The medieval [[Brigantine]] and later [[brig (ship)| Brig]] and [[Snow (ship)|Snow]] ships also featured flush decks.

==Two different meanings of "flush"==
((Unreferenced section|date=October 2014))
"Flush deck" with "flush" in its generic meaning of "even or level; forming an unbroken plane", is sometimes applied to vessels, as in describing yachts lacking a raised [[pilothouse]] for instance. "Flush deck aircraft carrier" uses "flush deck" in this generic sense.

"Flush deck" in its more specific maritime-architecture sense denotes (for instance) the flush deck destroyers described above: the flush decks are broken by masts, guns, funnels, and other structures and impediments, and are far from being unbroken planes. "Flush deck" in this sense only signifies that the main deck runs the length of the ship and does not end before the stem (with a separate raised [[forecastle]] deck forward) or before the stern (with a separate raised or, as seen on many modern warships, lowered [[quarterdeck]] rearward).

|File:USS Belknap official photo.jpg| ((USS|Belknap|CG-26|6)), a later example of a non-flush-deck ship, with the main deck giving way to a lower quarterdeck towards the stern

==Types==
It has two specific common referents:
*Flush deck [[aircraft carrier]]s are those with no island [[superstructure]], so that the top deck of the vessel consists of only an unbroken [[flight deck]].<ref>((cite web | url=https://warshipprojects.com/2020/02/18/warship-projects-profile-jp201-amagi-class-carrier-conversions/ | title=Warship Projects Profile No.JP201 – Amagi class carrier conversions | date=18 February 2020 ))</ref>
*"Flush deckers" is a common nickname for a series of American destroyers built in large quantities during or shortly after [[World War I]] – the ((Sclass|Caldwell|destroyer|5)), ((Sclass|Wickes|destroyer|5)), and ((Sclass|Clemson|destroyer|5)) classes – so called because they lacked the raised [[forecastle]] of preceding American destroyers, thus the main deck was a flush deck.<ref>((cite web |url=http://destroyerhistory.org/flushdeck/ |title=Flush Deckers |work=Destroyer History Foundation |access-date=October 20, 2014))</ref>
