Diesel-electric?

edit

I believe it is not a Diesel-electric drive system. The Diesel engine is connected to the propshaft without transmission. 160.46.252.18 (talk) 14:49, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Calling a ship "she"

edit

Hi @Murgatroyd49, would you mind elaborating on why a ship is described using "she" and not "it"? FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:29, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Convention for the last couple of thousand years and still the convention on wikipedia. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 11:32, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
I thought it a ship thing. interesting tbh. Any pointers for someone who want to learn more about this? FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Apart from the obvious rejoinder to try googling it (not very helful!), there are discussions on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships talk pages but you will have to hunt through the archives. Basically the ancient peoples regarded ships as things of beauty and having a soul and must therefore be female. An attitude that has remained down the centuries.
