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 206.189.32.0/20 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 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''HTMS ''Sri Ayudhya'''''{{efn|His Thai Majesty's Ship; see [[Ship prefix]] for  details.}} ({{langx|th|เรือหลวงศรีอยุธยา}}, {{RTGS|''Si Ayutthaya''}}) was a [[coastal defence ship]] of the [[Royal Thai Navy]]. It was in service from 1938 to 1951, being active during the [[Franco-Thai war]] in which its sister ship {{HTMS|Thonburi}} was heavily damaged in the [[Battle of Ko Chang]]. ''Sri Ayudhya'' later served as [[flagship]] of the navy until it was sunk as a result of fighting in the [[Manhattan Rebellion]].

==Construction and career==
In the 1930s the Royal Siamese Navy pursued plans to upgrade and expand its limited forces. This was approved by parliament in 1935, and 18 million baht was allocated for the procurement of new equipment. In December 1935, the navy contracted the Japanese [[Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation]] of Kobe to build two coastal defence ships for 5.727 million baht. ''Sri Ayudhya'' was delivered on 16 June 1938 and commissioned on 19 July; its sister ship {{HTMS|Thonburi||2}} followed in October that year.<ref name="TAF1">{{cite web|title=70th Year of HTMS Thonburi Part I - The Ship|url=http://thaiarmedforce.com/taf-article/67-nyenava/235-70th-year-of-htms-thonburi-part-i.html|language=th|date=17 January 2011|work=ThaiArmedForce.com|access-date=1 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130907132826/http://thaiarmedforce.com/taf-article/67-nyenava/235-70th-year-of-htms-thonburi-part-i.html|archive-date=7 September 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[File:HTMS Thonburi in Yokohama.jpg|thumb|left|Identical sister ship {{HTMS|Thonburi}}]]
When the [[Franco-Thai war]] broke out in late 1940, the navy assigned ''Sri Ayudhya'' and ''Thonburi'' to the First Squadron, tasked with patrolling the eastern waters against potential French attacks. On the night of 14 January, the group led by ''Thonburi'' set sail from [[Sattahip Naval Base]] to relieve ''Sri Ayudhya'' and its convoy, which had been stationed at the island of [[Ko Chang]] in [[Trat Province]]. They rendezvoused the following morning, and the ''Sri Ayudhya'' group returned to Sattahip. Two days later, at dawn on 17 January, ''Thonburi'' and other ships in the group were engaged by French naval forces in what became the [[Battle of Ko Chang]].<ref name="TAF2">{{cite web|title=70th Year of HTMS Thonburi Part II - The Fighting|url=http://www.thaiarmedforce.com/taf-article/67-nyenava/236-70th-year-of-htms-thonburi-part-ii.html|language=th|date=17 January 2011|work=ThaiArmedForce.com|access-date=1 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130907132744/http://thaiarmedforce.com/taf-article/67-nyenava/236-70th-year-of-htms-thonburi-part-ii.html|archive-date=7 September 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''Sri Ayudhya'' was sent to assist in the battle, but only arrived in the afternoon after hostilities had ceased.<ref>{{cite web|title=Battle of Koh Chang overview|url=http://thaigunship.blogspot.com/2010/03/battle-of-koh-chang-site-on-foggy-day.html|author=WatcharaYui|work=thaigunship.blogspot.com|date=4 March 2010|access-date=1 February 2013}}</ref> However, some French reports erroneously noted that ''Sri Ayudhya'' was damaged by a torpedo during the battle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.netmarine.net/bat/croiseur/lamotte/kohchang/|title=La bataille de Koh Chang (janvier 1941)|language=fr|work=Net-Marine|access-date=1 February 2013}}</ref>

==Manhattan Rebellion==
[[File:HTMS Sri Ayutthaya before sinking.jpg|thumb|left|The heavily damaged ''Sri Ayudhya'' listing before it sank on 1 July 1951]]
On 29 June 1951, in a coup attempt known as the [[Manhattan Rebellion]], a group of junior naval officers held Prime Minister [[Plaek Pibulsonggram]] (Phibun) at gunpoint during a boat-transfer ceremony at Ratchaworadit Pier on the [[Chao Phraya River]] in Bangkok. Phibun was taken aboard the ''Sri Ayudhya'' and held hostage.<ref name="Chaloemtiarana" /><ref name="Krisda" /> General stations were called, and the ship began to make way downstream towards the Naval Ordnance Department in Bang Na. However, the coup plotters failed to secure the opening of the [[Memorial Bridge (Thailand)|Memorial Bridge]], and the ship thus could not continue.<ref name="Krisda" /> Fighting quickly ensued, and the naval units that sided with the rebels became heavily outnumbered by the army, police and air forces, who were loyal to the government.<ref name="Chaloemtiarana" /><ref name="Krisda" /> Fighting subsided during the night but resumed and intensified early the next morning. ''Sri Ayudhya'' joined the fight, but its engines were soon disabled and the ship became dead in the water in front of [[Wichaiprasit Fort]]. It was heavily fired upon from the eastern bank by guns and mortars, and, by afternoon, was also bombarded by [[North American T-6 Texan|AT-6]] trainer planes. Heavy fires broke out, and the order was given to abandon ship.<ref name="Krisda" /> Phibun had to swim ashore along with the sailors, but was uninjured.<ref name="Chaloemtiarana">{{cite book|last=Chaloemtiarana|first=Thak|title=Thailand : the politics of despotic paternalism|year=2007|publisher=Cornell Southeast Asia Program|location=Ithaca, NY|isbn=9780877277422|edition=Rev.|page=41}}</ref> The fires continued throughout the night and into the next day, when fighting ceased. The heavily damaged ''Sri Ayudhya'' finally sank in the night of 1 July.<ref name="Krisda">{{cite journal|first=Krisda |last=Fuangrabil|title=สู่วาระสุดท้ายของเรือหลวงศรีอยุธยา: ทหารเรือกับเหตุสำคัญของบ้านเมืองในอดีต (ตอนที่ 4)|url=http://www.rtni.org/library/download/%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%20%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%84%202550_%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%8D%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%9A%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%95_10.pdf|pages=6–14|volume=90|issue=5|date=May 2007|journal=Nawikasat}}</ref>

The wreck of ''Sri Ayudhya'' was later salvaged for scrap, as it had become a navigational hazard.<ref>{{cite journal|first=Dilok |last=Pattaragoson |title=เรือจ้างในลำน้ำ |url=http://www.rtni.org/library/download/2550/june/%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%20%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A2%202550.pdf|pages=64–72|volume=90|issue=6|date=June 2007|journal=Nawikasat}}</ref> The ship was officially struck from the naval register on 8 October 1959 in Ministerial Order 350/21315.
