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 100.26.0.0/16 has been blocked 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 09:31, 23 February 2027. Your current IP address is 100.26.45.83.

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| '''''Arare'''''|霰|extra="Hailstone"}} <ref>Nelson. ''Japanese-English Character Dictionary''. page 946</ref> was the tenth and last of the {{sclass|Asashio|destroyer}}s built for the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] in the mid-1930s under the [[2nd Naval Armaments Supplement Programme (Japan, 1934)|Circle Two Supplementary Naval Expansion Program]] (''Maru Ni Keikaku'').

==History==
The ''Asashio''-class destroyers were larger and more capable than the preceding {{sclass|Shiratsuyu|destroyer|4}}, as Japanese naval architects were no longer constrained by the provisions of the [[London Naval Treaty]]. These [[light cruiser]]-sized vessels were designed to take advantage of Japan’s lead in [[torpedo]] technology, and to accompany the Japanese main striking force and in both day and night attacks against the [[United States Navy]] as it advanced across the [[Pacific Ocean]], according to Japanese naval strategic projections.<ref>Peattie & Evans, ''Kaigun'' .</ref> Despite being one of the most powerful classes of destroyers in the world at the time of their completion, none survived the [[Pacific War]].<ref>Globalsecurity.org, IJN Asashio class destroyers</ref>

''Arare'', built at the [[Maizuru Naval Arsenal]], was [[Keel laying|laid down]] on 5 March 1937, [[Ship launching|launched]] on 16 November 1937 and commissioned on 15 April 1939.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://homepage2.nifty.com/nishidah/e/stc0427.htm | title= Asashio class 1st class destroyers | last= Nishidah | first= Hiroshi | year= 2002 | work= Materials of the Imperial Japanese Navy | access-date= 2011-03-24 | archive-url= https://archive.today/20120721073917/http://homepage2.nifty.com/nishidah/e/stc0427.htm | archive-date= 2012-07-21 | url-status= dead }}</ref> On completion, she was assigned to the [[IJN 2nd Fleet]] as part of Desdiv 18, Desron 2 under command of Commander Tomoe Ogata.

==Operational history==
On 22 November, ''Arare'' departed was the [[Kurile Islands]] as an escort to [[Chūichi Nagumo|Admiral Nagumo]]’s [[Kido Butai|Carrier Strike Force]], specifically guarding the [[fleet tanker]]s accompanying the strike force. On 7 December, these aircraft carriers were responsible for the [[attack on Pearl Harbor]], launching a total of 353 aircraft against the base, although ''Arare'' did not play any direct role in the attack, having been preformed only by air power.  After the attack, ''Arare'' escorted the carriers to [[Kure Naval District|Kure]], returning on the 24th.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.combinedfleet.com/arare_t.htm | title= IJN ''Arare'': Tabular Record of Movement |author= Allyn D. Nevitt  |year= 1998 |publisher= combinedfleet.com }}</ref>

In January 1942, ''Arare'' escorted aircraft carriers {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Akagi||2}} and {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Kaga||2}} to [[Chuuk Lagoon|Truk]], and onwards to [[Rabaul]] to cover [[Battle of Rabaul (1942)|landings]] of Japanese forces at [[Rabaul]] and [[Kavieng]]. She returned with {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Zuikaku||2}} from [[Palau]] to [[Yokosuka Naval District|Yokosuka]] on 13 February, and spent the following month in training patrols. On 17 March, she departed Yokosuka with {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Shōkaku||2}} and {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Zuikaku||2}} to [[Staring-baai]] in [[Sulawesi]], [[Netherlands East Indies]].

On 1 March, ''Arare'' was present during the sinking of the Dutch cargo ship ''Modjokerto'', but did not engage.<ref>{{Cite web |last=主要兵器 |first=大日本帝国軍 |date=2018-02-04 |title=磯風【陽炎型駆逐艦 十二番艦】その1Isokaze【Kagero-class destroyer】 |url=https://japanese-warship.com/destroyer/isokaze/ |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=大日本帝国軍 主要兵器 |language=ja}}</ref> She departed Staring-baai on 27 March to escort the carrier force in the [[Indian Ocean raid]] on 27 March  After the Japanese air strikes on [[Colombo]] and [[Trincomalee]] in [[Sri Lanka|Ceylon]], she returned to Kure for repairs on 23 April. ''Arare'' deployed from [[Saipan]] on 3 June as part of the escort for the troop convoy in the [[Battle of Midway]]. Afterwards, she escorted the cruisers {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Kumano||2}} and {{ship|Japanese cruiser|Suzuya|1934|2}} from Truk back to Kure.
[[File:Japanese destroyers.jpg|thumb|Full version of the infobox photo, ''Arare'' is the 2nd closest destroyer, next to the ''[[Japanese destroyer Michishio|Michishio]]'']]
On 28 June, she was assigned to escort {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Chiyoda||2}} to [[Kiska]] in the [[Aleutian Islands]] on a supply mission. While approximately {{convert|7|nmi|lk=in}} east of Kiska at {{coord|52|0|N|177|40|E|display=inline, title}} on 5 July, during the action of 5 July 1942 she was hit amidships by a torpedo fired by the submarine {{USS|Growler|SS-215|6}}, exploded and sank, with loss of 104 lives. Commander Ogata was among the 42 survivors rescued by the destroyer ''[[Japanese destroyer Shiranui (1938)|Shiranui]]''.<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> She was removed from the [[navy list]] on 31 July 1942.
