USS Constitution, SHE is the oldest ship in the United States Navy, OK? HMS Victory, SHE is the ship Nelson was sailing in at the battle of Trafalgar, when he was killed, OK?
Ships are female, get over it.
@Setanta,
Yes, (we) sailors are 'married to the sea'
@Setanta,
Things change. Hurricaines were once female too.
@maxdancona,
Yeah, well this ain'ta gonna change . . . get over it!
Walter understands. You remind me of the Greek who said he'd retire from the sea, put an oar on his shoulder, and walk inland until somebody asked himwhat the oar was, and then he'd settle there. You're that guy!
@Setanta,
Because sailors are married to the sea?
What sort of answer is that?
@msolga,
Well, Walter ain'ta gonna marry no dude . . . Duh-uh.
@msolga,
cuz the mens takes care of them and ride on them.
oh my.
Well men mostly
used to. Now it's a bit of a mix.
I think Himicanes is the goofiest thing ever. Though Himmorhoids is perfectly logical.
@mismi,
You are a very naughty wimmins, Miss Mi . . . maybe that's why you is so popular . . .
@mismi,
Thank you, missy.
It's all perfectly clear to me now!
@Setanta,
Well.....
yeah.
Who doesn't like naughty? But nice.
I suppose I shouldn't have actually
posted that. Some things are best left in your head. I have a hard time with that.
@msolga,
But why are some countries men (as in "fatherland") while others are women (as in "motherland").
And how come they're all parents?
Are any countries children?

That I haven't a clue about.
Set?
Vagely I remember there are three reasons why a ship is a She.
1. With a new man - owner in this case - it changes its name.
2. A ship needs the strong hand of a man to be steared.
3. I have forgotten the third reason.
The Vikings called their ships He because they called their ships dragons.

My husband just said that he felt him
herhoids was more appropriate for that particular pain in the arse.
But I digress....
ships - wimmins...back to that.

COE Mobile dredges arent she's, they are "its".
