قالب:Infobox ship characteristics
This template is part of the WikiProject Ships ship infobox. It adds a Characteristics section to the infobox. Each section, except Infobox Ship Begin, can be repeated as necessary to support multiple careers, multiple sets of characteristics, etc. The header of the Characteristics box can be hidden by setting its "Hide header=yes". This allows you to repeat certain fields by adding a second Characteristics box with a hidden header. Also, additional text can be added to the Characteristics box with "Header caption=". If you have any questions or comments, please ask User:TomTheHand.
- NB. {{Infobox ship begin}} contains code for automatically making the ship name display in italics in the article title. This will only work with titles beginning with one of the prefixes (HMS, SS, etc.) that are listed in the code of Template:Ship prefix. If this does not work on a particular article (after purging), then please either (1) add the prefix to Template:Ship prefix (provided it is a single "word"); or (2) italicize the title manually (outside the ship infobox templates) using {{Italic title}} or {{Italic title prefixed}}.
This ship infobox supports a very large number of fields, including some specialty fields that will rarely be used. Some fields simply don't make sense in some cases. Some different sets of code have been prepared using only the most common fields. Select the most appropriate set below and copy and paste the entire code to the top of a ship article, then fill in as many fields as possible. Empty fields should generally be kept so that a future editor can fill them in unless they make no sense for the ship in question.
The "Full" code contains every field the template supports. If you want, you can copy one of the simplified sets of code and add a few fields from the "Full" code.
If you have ideas for improvements or would like to add brand new fields to these templates, please post on Template talk:Infobox ship begin/doc to discuss the changes and how they should be implemented.

Parameters
Most fields are self-explanatory, but here are some tips:
- Ship image If your article does not have an image in this field, the ship will automatically be listed at the hidden category Category:Ship infoboxes without an image. Editors can use the category to easily see a list of infoboxes where no image is attached and work to find pictures.
- Ship caption, the caption for the ship's picture, should be left blank if no extra information about the picture is available; don't just fill in the ship's name.
- Ship country is necessary when a ship served under multiple countries, but not really necessary otherwise.
- Ship class should include both the class and the type of ship. For example, Balao-class diesel-electric submarine provides complete information. It can be replaced with Ship type, which displays as "Type:", for ships that aren't members of a class.
- Ship name is necessary when a ship served under multiple names, but not really necessary otherwise.
- Ship fate and Ship status generally shouldn't both be filled in. Whichever one sounds most appropriate for the situation should be filled in. Use Ship fate when the ship sank or was scrapped, and use Ship status when the ship is active, kept in reserve, or currently a museum.
- Ship displacement and Ship tonnage are not the same thing. Displacement is the mass of a ship in a particular condition, like when it's fully loaded for battle. It is generally used for military vessels. Tonnage is a measurement of the cargo capacity of a vessel and isn't exactly correlated with weight: a ship of a particular tonnage will have a different mass depending on whether it's full of grain or iron. Entries in either parameter need to specifically identify the units in which they are being measured, such as long tons, metric tons or tonnes (unacceptable in articles using American English, use metric tons) or gross register tons or whatever.
Alternate spellings
Some fields provide alternate spellings and should never both be filled in:
- "Ship honors" and "Ship honours"
- "Ship draft" and "Ship draught"
- "Ship armor" and "Ship armour"
Removing extra fields
It's generally a good idea not to remove fields, because another editor might be able to provide the information later. However, in the case of mutually exclusive fields, like "Ship armor" and "Ship armour", the unused field can be removed if desired. Also, if a section is repeated (to show multiple periods in commission, for example), fields that are inappropriate to duplicate can be removed if desired. Keep in mind that a ship from the Age of Sail would not need the fields for aircraft or electronic warfare instruments and in opposite an aircraft carrier would not need the fields for a sail plan. A surface ship would not require fields for submarines etc.
Special capabilities
Repeating sections
This infobox allows you to repeat sections. To repeat, just make a copy of the section to be repeated. You can repeat the Image, Career, or Characteristics sections. Here is an example, with extra fields removed for clarity:

Hiding section headers
It is possible to hide the headers for the Career and General Characteristics sections, in order to repeat fields. For example, a ship might have been commissioned, decommissioned, recommissioned, and decommissioned again. To have the second commission and decommission dates, use additional a second Infobox ship career template with its header hidden, like this:

The General Characteristics section can be given a caption using the Header caption field. See the USS Wisconsin example above, which has a header caption of (1943) to indicate that the characteristics provided are as of 1943.

It is possible to add custom fields to the infobox using standard Wiki table syntax. This is not encouraged, because infoboxes are intended to standardize the appearance of ship articles, but it can be done if needed. See the below example, where "Sunk:" and "Raised:" fields are added to the ship's career:
{|{{Infobox ship begin}} {{Infobox ship image |Ship image=[[File:Uss west virginia bb.jpg|300px|]] |Ship caption=''West Virginia'' in San Francisco Bay, circa 1934. }} {{Infobox ship career | Hide header= | Ship caption=US | Ship flag={{USN flag|1947}} | Ship ordered=5 December 1916 | Ship laid down=12 April 1920 | Ship launched=17 November 1921 | Ship commissioned=1 December 1923 }} |- | Sunk: |7 December 1941 |- |Raised: |17 May 1942 {{Infobox ship career | Hide header=yes | Ship decommissioned=9 January 1947 | Ship fate=sold for scrap | Ship struck=1 March 1959 | Ship nickname="Wee Vee" }} {{Infobox ship characteristics | Hide header= | Ship displacement=33,590 tons | Ship length=624 ft (190 m) | Ship beam=97.3 ft (29.6 m) | Ship draft=30.5 ft (9.3 m) | Ship speed=21.0 knots (39 km/h) | Ship complement=1,407 officers and men | Ship armament=big guns }} |}
