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.

The '''''Roberts'' class''' of [[Monitor (warship)|monitor]]s of the [[Royal Navy]] consisted of two heavily gunned vessels built during the [[World War II|Second World War]]. They were the [[HMS Roberts (F40)|''Roberts'']], completed in 1941, and [[HMS Abercrombie (F109)|''Abercrombie'']], completed in 1943.

Features of the class were two 15-inch guns in a twin turret, shallow draught for operating inshore, broad beam to give stability (and also resistance to torpedoes and mines) and a high observation platform to observe fall of shot.

*((HMS|Roberts|F40|6)): Reused the turret of the [[World War I]] monitor [[HMS Marshal Soult|''Marshal Soult'']]. ''Roberts'' provided bombardment support during [[Operation Torch]] in [[North Africa]], where she was damaged by two 500&nbsp;kg bombs. She was repaired in time to support the Allied [[Allied invasion of Sicily|invasion of Sicily]], [[Operation Avalanche|landings near Salerno]], [[Normandy landings|invasion of Normandy]], and [[Operation Infatuate#Landing at Westkapelle (operation Infatuate II)|landing at Westkapelle]].

:One of ''Roberts''' guns (formerly in [[HMS Resolution (09)|HMS ''Resolution'']]) is mounted outside the [[Imperial War Museum]] in Lambeth, South London, together with one from the battleship [[HMS Ramillies (07)|''Ramillies'']]. ''Roberts'' herself was sold for scrapping shortly after the war, but hired back by the [[Royal Navy]] as an accommodation ship at [[HMNB Devonport|Devonport]] until 1965.
*((HMS|Abercrombie|F109|6)): She used a 15-inch gun turret originally built as a spare for ((HMS|Furious|47|6)). She was damaged by contact [[naval mine|mines]] on several occasions while supporting the invasion of Italy, but was repaired. On completion of repairs, ''Abercrombie'' was sent for service in the Pacific, although the war ended before her arrival. She was used as a gunnery training and accommodation ship at [[Chatham, Kent|Chatham]] after the war.
