Icebreaker classes vs. individual ships
editWhile working on the template, I couldn't come up with a good way to include the class names of certain Canadian icebreakers (namely, Pierre Radisson class, Samuel Risley class and Martha L. Black class for the CCG, and Harry DeWolf class for the RCN). I thought about {{navbox}} subgroup (see {{Icebreakers of Sweden}} for example) but where to group ships that do not belong to any class? "Other"? Then I thought about using the following format: Name class (Ship 1 · Ship 2 · ...). However, that just seemed to increase the clutter in the navbox. I'm open to ideas and if someone comes up with a good one, I can think of a few other navboxes where that can be used.
As for the "Icebreakers of Canada" in general, I used this to replace a number of class-specific navboxes which didn't really serve any practical purpose (I'm a bit wary with the DeWolf class as the navy people really like their class-specific navboxes). Still, I'd say more people are interested about all icebreakers of Canada as opposed to a single class.
