Every day I wake up and realize that I can't marry a Arleigh-Burke destroyer. It's a tragedy for people like me. I thought I was the only one, but I'm glad that it's not me but a whole systemic issue.

I thought all ships were girls. They always refer to boats as her or she. Where the He/Himboats at?

I thought the U in U-boat stood for Unisex.

Lucky for him. Navy ships are usually dudes

? US and UK navy ships are historically "she," unless that's changed recently.

Props to the Navy if they've finally recognized the shipboys' preferred pronouns.

Except the Reagan. Misgender that fat incontinent ho, idc.

It's a mixed bad but seems like mostly masculine names to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nope. You always use the feminine (well, or neutral) pronoun. Never the masculine.

It doesn't matter whether the original name is from a human man. It's still "she" and "her".

I don't think you understand, but I also don't care.

If you wanna keep banging shipgirls named John McCain and Abraham Lincoln be my guest, but it seems a bit suspect to me

Oh the nicknames don't help.

Big Bad John And Stinkin Lincoln respectively. Then there's the Harry s Truman "The Big Stick".
