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.

? 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.

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".
