Template:USS

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

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 Cerritos USS Cerritos

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 Cerritos USS Cerritos

To use a link to a disambiguating starship name, enter the disambiguation text as the second variable to the template: USS Cerritos (ECV-197) USS Cerritos (ECV-197)
