			{{Infobox-chapter
			\| crest =

			Mostly want to keep this. However, the RMN Flash is Manticore-centric, and we may want to find a different option. Could possibly use Affiliation to guide selection of a default.

			\| image =

			So, right now, I don't think we have a single one of these side-view or class-view images. Nor do we have the resources to mass-produce them. I think this one can probably drop off without it being missed.

			\| name =

			Obviously, we keep this.

			\| hcn =

			We keep this as an optional, yes.

			\| city =

			Keep, UNLESS there is a better way to handle it.

			\| class =

			An optional.

			\| type =

			Definitely keep.

			\| affiliation =

			Keep.

			\| co =

			Yes, but let's have the full triad in here.

			\| launched =

			Keep. But let's also add "previous". Example, the DD HMS Ivanhoe grew to be the CL HMS Talisman.

			\| status =

			This is duplicative: if something is in an Echelon, it is Active. Or it is in the Active Reserves (or something like that.) I think "Status" can go away. Instead, we have it check "reports to" and put it in that echelon's category.

			\| reportsto =

			the next-higher Echelon

			\| fleet =

			I want to replace this with "top_echelon" or something. MAYBE add some intermediate echelons.

			\| website =

			Keep.

			Also, let's add "Discord". A unit's discord page can give info on whom to contact for an invite.

			\| image2 =

			Ship's Flash

			\| altimage =

			Is this in active use anywhere?
