[edit] Suggestion

Shouldn't it be possible to not display the heading "surfaced", unless the submerged parameters are entered? When I see "surfaced" next to a parameter of a surface ship, I wonder if it's expected to sink. Not the best thought. I'm not a template coder, so I won't attempt it myself.--J Clear 13:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I've done this. -- Rick Block (talk) 03:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! //Halibutt 07:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Good job.--J Clear 01:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] H:title

I fell in love with the {{H:title}} template recently. Does anybody have any idea how to convert this one to that format? It would make the template even shorter, which is good considering the average length of articles on Polish ships... //Halibutt 06:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
