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 44.195.0.0/16 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 09:46, 11 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.195.85.198.

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.

''Nebraska'' shares her nickname, "Big Red", with the [[Nebraska Cornhuskers|University of Nebraska-Lincoln's athletic teams]].

==Construction and commissioning==
The contract to build ''Nebraska'' was awarded on 26 May 1987 to the [[Electric Boat]] Division of the [[General Dynamics]] Corporation at [[Groton, Connecticut]]. Her [[keel]] was laid there on 6 July 1987 and she was [[Ship naming and launching|launched]] on 15 August 1992, sponsored by Patricia Exon, the wife of [[United States Senator]] [[J.

==Service history==
''Nebraska'' was originally assigned to [[Submarine Group 10]] at [[Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]].  On 1 October 2004, ''Nebraska''  was transferred to [[Submarine Squadron 17]] in [[Submarine Group 9]] at [[Naval Base Kitsap]], [[Bangor, Washington]].  In 2013 Nebraska transferred to Submarine Squadron 19 to conduct an Engineering Refueling Overhaul.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.stratcom.mil/Media/News/News-Article-View/Article/1616647/uss-nebraska-ssbn-739-returns-from-first-strategic-deterrent-patrol-since-2013/|title=USS Nebraska (SSBN 739) Returns from First Strategic Deterrent Patrol|website=U.S. Strategic Command|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-28}}</ref>

As of November 2013, the submarine had completed 62 deterrent patrols during her 20 years of service.  Each patrol is usually 77 days in duration followed by 35 days in port for maintenance.<ref name="Hendee" />

Following Patrol 54, ''Nebraska'' was awarded the "[[Battle Effectiveness Award|Battle E]]" for Submarine Squadron 17. Additionally, following Patrol 56, the submarine was awarded the "Battle E" for Submarine Squadron 17 for its second consecutive year. After completing an unprecedented 116-day patrol in late 2013, ''Nebraska'' was again awarded the "Battle E," her third in four years.

==In popular culture==
