This is a request to expand the vehicle template to include additional fields.  

Vehicle Location

There is currently no field for the current location of a vehicle.
For example, HMS Belfast is located on the river Thames in London. The Juno spacecraft is located in orbit of Jupiter. A shipwreck might be hard aground in a specific cove. A famous racecar might be located in a billionaire's mansion.   Location can be extended to an entire class of vehicles if they are primarily or exclusively located in a specific area.  

Military Formation/Unit

There is currently no field for the current military formation/unit of a vehicle.
Examples include HMS Warspite, part of the Grand Fleet. The Pharaoh's fancy chariot might be part of a larger force of chariots.   This can be extended to an entire class of vehicles, for example a class of fighter aircraft serving exclusively with a single carrier squadron.  

Dates of construction and destruction

The settlement and building templates both have fields for the founding/construction dates, and date at which they became ruins, however the vehicle template currently lacks this.   Construction date could be the date of first being laid down, completed, launched, or commissioned, and destruction date could be the date of sinking, wrecking, scuttling, scrapping, or rusting away into non-existance, for example.   Examples include RMS Titanic, which was completed on the 2nd of April 1912, and sank on the 10th of April 1912. A famous racecar might have rolled off the production line in 2015, and sold for scrap in 2024.
