Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Creates an attribution statement and links to ship and service craft detail pages in the Naval Vessel Register (NVR) website.

Usage

This template accepts several named parameters:

|hulln= – the ship's hull designator in a form acceptable to {{Naval Vessel Register URL}}

|titlen= – a title for the link to the ship's NVR page; use when the default title is not sufficient

|archiven= – a URL pointing to an archived copy of the ship's NVR page

If you don't provide a parameter, and simply use {{Naval Vessel Register}}, the template returns the default attribution statement:

{{Naval Vessel Register}}

 This article incorporates public domain material from the Naval Vessel Register.

If you provide the ship's hull designator, the template will return the attribution statement along with a link to the selected NVR details page:

{{Naval Vessel Register|hull1=SSBN-659}} produces this:

 This article incorporates public domain material from Will Rogers (SSBN-659) at the Naval Vessel Register.

Use |titlen= to make a link with a different label:

{{Naval Vessel Register|hull=ix-554 |title=ex-''YON-274''}}

 This article incorporates public domain material from ex-YON-274 at the Naval Vessel Register.

Use |archive= to provide a link to an archived snapshot of the ship's NVR detail page:

{{Naval Vessel Register|hull=BB 39|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20250727161558/https://www.nvr.navy.mil/nvr/getHull.htm?shipId=1820}}

 This article incorporates public domain material from Arizona (BB-39) (Archived) at the Naval Vessel Register.

The three named parameters may be enumerated so that multiple links can be included in a single attribution:

{{Naval Vessel Register
|hull=AFDB7a
|title=''Los Alamos'' (AFDB-7) – sections A–E & G
|archive1=https://web.archive.org/web/20250719151228/https://www.nvr.navy.mil/nvr/getHull.htm?shipId=5372
|hull2=AFDB7f
|title2=section F
|hull3=YFP-14
|title3=''YFP-14''
}}

 This article incorporates public domain material from Los Alamos (AFDB-7) – sections A–E & G (Archived), section F, and YFP-14 at the Naval Vessel Register.

Deprecated parameters

This template also accepts one or two positional parameters:

{{{1}}} – (deprecated) a URL pointing to an NVR page

{{{2}}} – (deprecated) a URL pointing to a second NVR page

If you provide the URL of a ship's detail page as the first unnamed parameter value, the template will return the attribution statement along with a link to the selected NVR details page:

{{Naval Vessel Register|1=https://www.nvr.navy.mil/nvr/getHull.htm?shipId=1635}} produces this:

 This article incorporates public domain material from here at the Naval Vessel Register.

Sometimes the NVR has two detail pages for the same hull under different identifiers. If you provide both URLs in the template, it will return the attribution statement and links to both of the detail pages:

{{Naval Vessel Register|{{Naval Vessel Register URL|id=YTB815}}|{{Naval Vessel Register URL|id=IX540}}}}

 This article incorporates public domain material from here and here at the Naval Vessel Register.
