Interesting.
Queen Elizabeth is named after a female but must be gender neutral. So It must replace She? Does the Queen object to naming a ship after her and refering to the ship as “she”?
HMS Iron Duke also gender neutral with a masculine name.
What do the crew of Iron Duke use? She? He? It?
As most RN ships seem to be named after places or have celebratory or fearsome names that are already gender neutral why not keep the tradition of “she” ?
PC is making a mockery of non offensive terminology that has lasted for centuries just to avoid attracting over zealous critics.
