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.

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.

Reaching action waters on 24 June 1945, she was assigned to [[radar picket]] and local escort duty, often firing on Japanese aircraft. After the close of hostilities in [[World War II]] on 15 August 1945, she patrolled the [[Yellow Sea]] and the [[Bohai Sea]], embarked released Americans from [[prisoner-of-war camp]]s near [[Dalian]], [[Manchuria]], and covered occupation landings at [[Jinsen, Korea|Jinsen]], [[Korea]].

''Frank E. Evans'' continued to operate in [[East Asia]] until 6 March 1946, when she departed [[Qingdao]], [[China]], bound for [[San Francisco]], [[California]]. Immobilized there on 31 March 1946, she was [[Ship decommissioning|decommissioned]] and placed in [[Reserve fleet|reserve]] on 14 December 1949.<ref name="DANFS" />

=== Korean War ===
Recommissioned on 15 September 1950 for service in the [[Korean War]], ''Frank E. Evans'' sailed from [[San Diego, California|San Diego]], California, on 2 January 1951 for duty with the [[United States Seventh Fleet]]. On 26 February 1951, she began to play her part in the lengthy [[siege of Wonsan]], during which she engaged [[North Korea]]n [[Coastal artillery|shore batteries]] 11 times. On 18 June 1951, she was struck by 30 [[Shrapnel (fragment)|shrapnel]] hits, which caused minor wounds to four crewmembers, before she silenced the North Korean [[artillery battery]] that was firing at her.<ref name="DANFS" /> During this time, ''Frank E. Evans'' received the nicknames "Lucky Evans" and the "Gray Ghost".<ref name="Cruise book, 1966">{{cite journal |journal= Frank E.

She returned to San Diego on 4 September 1951.<ref name="DANFS" />

''Frank E. Evans'' departed on 22 March 1952 for her second Korean War tour, serving on patrol and bombardment duty along the coast of Korea and on the [[Taiwan]] Patrol before returning to her new [[home port]], [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]], California, on 6 November 1952, where she remained for three months. Her third Korean War tour from 13 June to 20 December 1953 coincided with the [[Korean Armistice Agreement|Korean armistice]] that brought the war to a close on 27 July 1953, and was devoted primarily to patrol duty.<ref name="DANFS" />

=== 1954–1964 ===
[[File:USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754) at sea, April 1963.jpg|thumb|left|USS ''Frank E. Evans'' at sea, April 1963]]
While riding out [[Typhoon Pamela (1954)|Typhoon Pamela]] in the [[Taiwan Strait]] in early November 1954, ''Frank E. Evans'' responded to an [[SOS]] by the [[Military Sealift Command|Military Sea Transportation Service]] cargo ship {{USNS|Muskingum|T-AK-198}}, which had lost steering control near the center of the storm. ''Frank E. Evans'' had escaped to the edge of the typhoon, but turned back into the storm, racing for five hours toward ''Muskingum'' to render assistance and taking damage in the process. In the end, ''Muskingum'' was able to regain control before ''Frank E. Evans'' arrived, but the incident was widely publicized in newspaper syndication because [[Pulitzer Prize]]-winning correspondent [[Homer Bigart]] was reporting from aboard ''Frank E. Evans'' at the time.<ref name="Cruise book, 1966" /><ref>{{cite news |title= Ship Back after Typhoon Tussle |first= Homer |last= Bigart |newspaper= Council Bluffs Nonpareil |date= 12 November 1954 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= http://fultonhistory.com/Newspaper4/Amsterdam%20NY%20Daily%20Democrat%20and%20Recorder/Amsterdam%20NY%20Daily%20Democrat%20and%20Recorder%201954%20Nov-Dec%20Grayscale/Amsterdam%20NY%20Daily%20Democrat%20and%20Recorder%201954%20Nov-Dec%20Grayscale%20-%200079.pdf |title= Ship Pounded by Typhoon |newspaper= Amsterdam Evening Record |location= Amsterdam, New York |date= 3 November 1954 }}</ref>

From 1954 to 1960, ''Evans'' completed five tours of duty in the [[East Asia]] and conducted extensive training operations along the [[United States West Coast]] and in the [[Hawaiian Islands]], occasionally with [[Royal Canadian Navy]] ships.<ref name="DANFS" />

From 1962 to 1963, ''Frank E.

=== Collision with HMAS ''Melbourne'' ===
{{Main|Melbourne-Evans collision}}
[[File:USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754) post collision.jpg|right|thumb|USS ''Frank E. Evans'' post-collision]]
At around 0300 on 3 June 1969, ''Frank E. Evans'' was operating in darkness in the [[South China Sea]] between Vietnam and [[Spratly Island]] in a formation with ships of the [[Royal Navy]], [[Royal Australian Navy]], and [[Royal New Zealand Navy]]. All ships in the formation were running without lights. The Royal Australian Navy [[aircraft carrier]] ''Melbourne'' was in the process of going to flying stations and radioed ''Frank E. Evans'', then to [[Port and starboard|port]] of her, to take up station as the rescue destroyer. This required ''Frank E. Evans'' to reduce speed and take up station on ''Melbourne''′s port quarter. The [[commanding officer]] of ''Frank E. Evans'' was asleep in his quarters, having left instructions to be awakened if there were to be any changes in the formation. Neither the [[officer of the deck]] nor the junior officer of the deck notified him when the station change was ordered. The [[Bridge (nautical)|bridge]] crew also did not contact the [[combat information center]] to request clarification of the positions and movements of the surrounding ships.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.jag.navy.mil/library/investigations/HMAS%20EVANS%20AND%20MELBOURNE%203%20JUN%2069.pdf |title= Joint USN/RAN investigation into the collision of USS Frank E.

The conning officer on ''Frank E. Evans'' misunderstood the formation's base course and believed ''Frank E. Evans'' was to [[Port and starboard|starboard]] of ''Melbourne''. ''Frank E. Evans'' therefore turned to starboard, cutting across ''Melbourne''′s [[Bow (ship)|bow]] twice in the process. ''Melbourne'' struck ''Frank E. Evans'' at a point about {{convert|92|ft|sp=us}} from her bow on her port side and cut her in two at {{coord|8|59.2|N|110|47.7|E|display=inline, title }}.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.ussfrankeevansassociationdd754.org/USSFEE2.pdf |title= USSFEE2.pdf |website= ussfrankeevansassociationdd754.org |access-date= 2 March 2015 |archive-date= 4 March 2016 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160304115309/http://www.ussfrankeevansassociationdd754.org/USSFEE2.pdf |url-status= dead }}</ref> After the collision, ''Frank E. Evans''′s bow drifted off to the port side of ''Melbourne'' and sank in less than five minutes, taking 73 of her crew with it. One body was recovered from the water, making a total of 74 dead.<ref>Stevenson J. ''In the Wake'' p. 36</ref> Her stern scraped along the starboard side of ''Melbourne'', and ''Melbourne''′s crew attached lines to it. It remained afloat. Around 60 to 100 men were rescued from the water.

== Decommissioning and disposal ==
''Frank E. Evans'' was [[Ship decommissioning|decommissioned]] at [[U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay|Subic Bay]] and struck from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] on 1 July 1969.<ref>{{cite news |agency=[[United Press International]] |title=The Frank E.
