+STEPS TO CREATE A NEW FLEET ARTICLE:
+1. Create a title:
+  a. Start the line with a single (1) # symbol to mark it as an H1 header.
+  b. Add a blank line below the title.
+2. Add your first sentence or paragraph below the new blank line.
+3. Optionally, add paragraph / subsection titles:
+  a. Start the paragraph / subsection title line with two (2) ## symbols to mark it as an H2 header.
+  b. Add a blank line, then, add more text below your paragraph / subsection headers if used.
+4. Optionally, add more stuff:
+  a. To use links, see the different style options here: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#links
+  b. To use images or GIFs, see the different style options here: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#images
+  c. To use code blocks, use back ticks, as described here: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#code-and-syntax-highlighting
+5. Correctly populate the article metadata at the bottom of your article body.
+6. There are no other style conventions that must be followed - the GitHub markdown specification is available to use as needed.
+7. You can use the text below this comment as an article template:
+-->
+
+# TITLE (# = H1 header)
+
+Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
+
+## PARAGRAPH / SUBSECTION TITLE (## = H2 header)
+
+Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
