Info Box Reversion

I have reverted the changes to the infobox made by 19:44, 25 June 2007 Martocticvs. The reason being that his changes involve a lot of information destruction, as can be seen by comparing the two below.

Good catch - saved the page before I'd finished there. I have resaved my earlier version but with the full data in the infobox this time (the box was changed incidentally as part of the WP:SHIPS drive to standardise all ship articles with the new infoboxes, though I hadn't intended to actually remove any information!)
