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 3.236.0.0/16 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 06:21, 30 September 2026.

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|'''''Sarushima'''''|猿島)) was a small ((sclass|Natsushima|minelayer|0)) [[minelayer]] of the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]], which was in service during [[World War II]]. She was named after Sarushima Island, a small island in [[Tokyo Bay]], offshore [[Yokosuka, Kanagawa]]. She was designed as an auxiliary minelayer and escort vessel.

==Building==
The [[1st Naval Armaments Supplement Programme (Japan, 1931)|Maru 1]] Supplementary Naval Expansion Budget of 1931  authorized the construction of the huge minelayer ((ship|Japanese minelayer|Okinoshima||2)) as well as three smaller minelayers for coastal and river service, the ((ship|Japanese minelayer|Natsushima|1933|2)) and ((ship|Japanese minelayer|Nasami||2)) as well as ''Sarushima''. ''Sarushima'' was a slightly enlarged version of the Natsushima-class, with the same armament, but with [[diesel engine]]s.  Sarushima was launched by the [[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries|Mitsubishi Yokohama shipyards]] on December 16, 1933, and was commissioned into service on July 20, 1934.<ref>((cite web| last = Nishida| first = Hiroshi| url = http://admiral31.world.coocan.jp/e/stc0745.htm | title = Materials of IJN| work = Imperial Japanese Navy| access-date = 17 August 2022))</ref>

==Operational history==
On completion, ''Sarushima'' was assigned to the [[Yokosuka Naval District]]. After the start of the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]], she was dispatched to patrol the inland waters of China, and was based at [[Jiujiang]] under the [[IJN 5th Fleet|China Expeditionary Fleet]] on July 1, 1938.

At the time of the [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] in December 1941, ''Sarushima'' was assigned to the Yokosuka Guard District, remaining in Japanese home waters for most of the duration of the war, and occasionally escorting convoys to the [[Bonin Islands]].

On April 15, 1944, ''Sarushima'' departed Tokyo with a convoy for [[Saipan]], returning safety on May 4. On May 17, she departed with another convoy for Saipan and [[Guam]]. During the return leg of the voyage, the convoy was attacked on June 2 by ((USS|Shark|SS-314)) (which sank one transport), and on June 4 by ((USS|Flier|SS-250))  (which sank another). ''Sarushima'' launched [[depth charge]]s, but failed to sink either submarine.<ref>((cite web | url= http://www.combinedfleet.com/Sarushima_t.htm| title=  IJN ''Sarushima'': Tabular Record of Movement | last= Nevitt | first=  Allyn D.   | year= 1999| work= Long Lancers | publisher= Combinedfleet.com))</ref>

On June 28, ''Sarushima'' escorted a convoy from Tokyo to [[Chichijima]] in the Bonin Islands. On the return voyage, the convoy was attacked by [[United States Navy]] (USN) carrier-based aircraft, which sunk all of the ships in the convoy, including ''Sarushima'' at position ((coord|12|15|N|121|00|E)). ''Sarushima'' was removed from the [[Navy List]] on September 10, 1944.<ref>((cite book | last = Brown | first = David | year = 1990 | title = Warship Losses of World War Two | publisher = Naval Institute Press | isbn = 1-55750-914-X))</ref>
