Template:Ship in active service/doc

This template is designed for use in the ship infobox of articles on ships that are in active service. The template uses Template:As of, so any changes to that template may be reflected in this template even if this one has not been edited.

Usage

This will display as in the sample infobox at right:

 * In active service, as of 2024
