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 44.211.0.0/16 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 10:53, 20 August 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.

'''USS ''Hawkbill'' (SSN-666)''', a ((sclass|Sturgeon|submarine|0)) [[attack submarine]], was the second ship of the [[United States Navy]] to be named for the [[hawksbill]], a large [[sea turtle]]. The name perpetuated the inadvertent misspelling of "hawksbill" in the naming of the first ship of that name, ((USS|Hawkbill|SS-366)), a ((sclass|Balao|submarine|0)) submarine launched in 1944. USS ''Hawkbill'' (SSN-666) was the [[List of Sturgeon-class submarines#Boats|eighteenth of 39]] ''Sturgeon''-class [[Nuclear marine propulsion|nuclear-powered]] submarines that were built.

''Hawkbill'' was sometimes called "The Devil Boat" or the "Devilfish" because of her [[Hull classification symbol|hull number]] (666), from chapter 13 of the [[Book of Revelation]], in the [[Bible]](('))s [[New Testament]], which begins "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea...." and ends "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the [[number of the beast]]: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six;" and the resulting association in [[Christianity]] of the number 666 with the [[Devil]] and the [[Antichrist]].((cn|date=July 2022))

==Construction and commissioning==
The contract to build ''Hawkbill'' was awarded to the [[Mare Island]] Division of [[San Francisco Bay Naval Shipyard]] in [[Vallejo, California|Vallejo]], [[California]], on 18 December 1964 and her [[keel]] was laid down there on 12 September 1966.  She was [[Ship naming and launching|launched]] on 12 April 1969, sponsored by Mrs. Bernard F. Roeder, the wife of [[Vice Admiral]] [[Bernard F. Roeder]], Commander [[United States First Fleet]], and [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 4 February 1971.((cn|date=July 2022))

==Service history==
In 1982, ''Hawkbill'' completed a scheduled overhaul of her [[reactor core]] at [[Puget Sound Naval Shipyard]] at [[Bremerton, Washington|Bremerton]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]], with her crew berthed at [[Naval Submarine Base Bangor]] at [[Bangor, Washington|Bangor]], Washington. After [[sea trial]]s and sound trials and port visits to [[Nanaimo]], [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]]; [[Alameda, California|Alameda]], California; and [[San Diego, California|San Diego]], California, ''Hawkbill'' returned to [[Pearl Harbor]], [[Hawaii]], commanded by Fred Crawford, where she joined Submarine Squadron ONE.((cn|date=July 2022))

In 1983, ''Hawkbill'' made a [[Western Pacific Ocean|Western Pacific]] cruise, under the command of George Roletter, with stops at [[Yokosuka, Kanagawa|Yokosuka]], [[Japan]]; [[Subic Bay]], the [[Philippines]]; and [[Hong Kong]].((cn|date=July 2022))

''Hawkbill'' made a dependent cruise from [[Lahaina, Hawaii|Lahaina]], [[Maui]], Hawaii to home port in Pearl Harbor.  In early 1984, ''Hawkbill'' deployed to the [[Arctic]], undertaking an 87-day excursion under the [[polar ice cap]] which included visits to [[Chinhae]], [[South Korea]]; and [[Guam]]. ''Hawkbill'' earned two Battle Efficiency "E" awards from Submarine Squadron ONE during this period.((cn|date=July 2022)) 

''Hawkbill'' was [[Ship decommissioning|decommissioned]] on 15 March 2000, the last of the [[Sturgeon-class submarine#Design|"short-hull"]] ''Sturgeon''-class attack submarines to be decommissioned, and that same day both was stricken from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] and entered the [[Ship and Submarine Recycling Program]] at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for scrapping. Her scrapping was completed on 1 December 2000.((cn|date=July 2022))

==Commemoration==
[[File:Arco Hawkbill Pano.jpg|thumb|Sail of SSN-666 on display in Arco, Idaho]]
''Hawkbill''(('))s [[Sail (submarine)|sail]] was preserved and is exhibited in the [[Idaho Science Center]] in [[Arco, Idaho|Arco]], [[Idaho]].
