== Usage ==
This is a typing short cut for linking to [[Polish Navy]] ship articles named in the format "ORP Orzeł (1938)".  Since ship names are italicized in article text, linking to them in the usual manner means typing everything twice, such as <nowiki>[[ORP Orzeł (1938)|ORP ''Orzeł'' (1938)]]</nowiki>.  This template halves that to <nowiki>{{ORP|Orzeł|1938}}.
</nowiki>

=== Formal usage ===

* <code><nowiki>{{ORP|Ship Name}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{ORP|Ship Name|ID}}</nowiki></code>, where ID can be the [[hull number]], launch year, or [[pennant number]], as specified in the article title.

=== Examples ===
{|class=wikitable width="100%"
 |- style="background-color:#FCFCFC" align="left"
 ! Template usage
 ! Equivalent wikicode

 |-
 | <code><nowiki>{{ORP|Orzeł|1938}}</nowiki></code>
 | <code><nowiki>[[ORP Orzeł (1938)|ORP ''Orzeł'' (1938)]]</nowiki></code>
 | {{ORP|Orzeł|1938}}
 |-
 | <code><nowiki>{{ORP|Orzeł}}</nowiki></code>
 | <code><nowiki>[[ORP Orzeł|ORP ''Orzeł'']]</nowiki></code>
 | {{ORP|Orzeł}}
 |}
