Template:USS/doc

This template is intended to simplify the wikicode needed for properly italicizing a starship's name, such as: USS Yamato

The template allows for up to three variables:
 * 1) Ship's name
 * 2) Disambiguation (if any)
 * 3) Textual postfix (if any)

USS Shipname (Disambiguation)

Usage
The simplest use is with the ship's name, such as: USS Yamato USS Yamato

Use of the single variable version should be avoided if a name has been given to more than one ship, unless the object is to direct the user to a disambiguation page. An example of this would be: USS Enterprise USS Enterprise (disambiguation)

To use a link to a disambiguating starship name, enter the disambiguation text as the second variable to the template: USS Exeter (NCC-1672) USS Exeter (NCC-1672)

Please note that for ship names listed with a letter following, such as USS Enterprise-D, that letter that should given as the third variable which is postfixed to the name (unlike the typical third variable which is the entire text): USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)
