Now, in the Navy, does one refer to ships as "she," or is that just commercial vessels?


Yes, they do still refer to ALL ships as "she," and you may enjoy this short article:

Oh. . . But the actual reason that I have been told, is that the word for "ship" in Romance languages is in the feminine form.

I loved her for her gaiety, for her color, for that familiarity with all the world that was her passenger list. in her decor, she leaned toward excess; there was something of the femme fatale about her. She assumed a seigneur's privilege of frowning on the lesser, fatter, slower, and more solid boats. Like all aristocrats, she had abominable moods. I think she was more female than all other ships that I have known. I think that's why I loved her so.

In French, I think it's masculine.

Possibly. Actually that thread was a bit of a bust, imho. I need to stop hawking it.

I don't understand people.  This is why I like people better than animals.
