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 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. Your current IP address is 3.236.28.78.

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 '''''Sampson''-class destroyers''' served in the [[United States Navy]] during [[World War I]]. Commissioned in 1916 and 1917, the class was a modification of the {{sclass|O'Brien|destroyer|5}} and {{sclass|Tucker|destroyer|4}}es, with the number of {{convert|21|in|mm|adj=on|0}} [[torpedo tube]]s increased from four twin-mounts to four triple-mounts. The ''Sampson''s were the final six ships of the 26 "thousand tonner" destroyers. They were the largest and most heavily armed of the "thousand tonners", and the subsequent "flush deck" classes differed mainly in hull design and the engineering plant.

==Design==

===Armament===
While the gun armament was typical for destroyers of this period, the torpedo armament of twelve [[American 21 inch torpedo|21 inch (533 mm)]] torpedo tubes was a significant increase over the preceding ''Tucker'' class, replacing four twin mounts with four triple mounts. Both the gun and torpedo armament would remain standard through the mass-production "flush-deck" {{sclass|Wickes|destroyer|5}} and {{sclass|Clemson|destroyer|4}}es commissioned through 1921. As with the other "thousand tonners", a factor in the size of the torpedo armament was the [[General Board of the United States Navy|General Board]]'s decision to use broadside rather than centerline torpedo tubes.<ref>Friedman, p. 24,34</ref> This was due to the desire to have some torpedoes remaining after firing a broadside, and problems experienced with centerline mounts on previous classes with torpedoes striking the [[gunwale]]s of the firing ship.<ref>Friedman, p. 24</ref> The [[Mark 8 torpedo]] was equipped.

This was the first US destroyer class to mount [[anti-aircraft]] guns: two [[1 pounder]] (37&nbsp;mm) [[autocannon]]s. [[Anti-submarine]] (ASW) armament was added during World War I. Typically, a single [[depth charge]] track was provided aft, along with a [[Y-gun]] depth charge projector.<ref>Friedman, p. 45</ref>

===Engineering===
While the main [[steam turbine|turbine]]s were [[direct drive]], all of the class were fitted with [[gear]]ed cruising turbines as in the preceding ''Tucker'' class, on one shaft in {{USS|Allen|DD-66|2}}, {{USS|Wilkes|DD-67|2}} and {{USS|Shaw|DD-68|2}} and on both shafts in the others.<ref>Gardiner, p. 123</ref>

==Service==
The ''Sampson'' class served in [[World War I]] as convoy escorts in the [[U-boat Campaign (World War I)|Atlantic]]. ''Wilkes'' and ''Shaw'' served in the [[United States Coast Guard]] as part of the [[Rum Patrol]] 1926–34. While the other ships of the ''Sampson'' class were retired and scrapped 1934–36 to comply with the [[London Naval Treaty]], ''Allen'' survived into the 1940s and was recommissioned on 23 August 1940; she served in the Pearl Harbor Defensive Sea Area through [[World War II]] before being decommissioned at Philadelphia in October 1945 and scrapped, the only pre-flush-deck destroyer to serve in that war.<ref>[http://destroyerhistory.org/early/sampsonclass/ DestroyerHistory.org Sampson Class page]</ref>
