Infobox service record
A service record box may be used to summarize information about an individual military unit's or ship's service history; it should generally be used in conjunction with the appropriate. If needed, multiple boxes may be used to separate the service record for different periods; for example, a unit that fought in several wars may have separate boxes for each.

The box should be added using the template, as shown below:

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source.

 * is_multi – optional – "yes" if multiple instances of the box are being used inside a single compound ship infobox.
 * label – optional – the label to use for the box; this defaults to "Service record" if left blank.
 * partof – optional – the unit or formation of which the subject unit or ship was a part; multiple units may be listed with the corresponding dates.
 * codes – optional – the identification codes carried by the unit or ship; these should generally be labeled according to what the code indicates.
 * commanders – optional – the notable commanding officers for the period covered.
 * operations – optional – the operations (such as battles, wars, campaigns, patrols, cruises, etc.) in which the subject unit or ship participated; these may be given as a list, or described in a more condensed form.
