:Good catch - saved the page before I'd finished there. I have resaved my earlier version but with the full data in the infobox this time (the box was changed incidentally as part of the WP:SHIPS drive to standardise all ship articles with the new infoboxes, though I hadn't intended to actually remove any information!)
