Should we stop referring to Naval vessels as, "She" as it may unknowingly be offensive?

No leave it alone. Too damn much political correctness already.

No way can we at least preserve some tradition and not change everything in the world because some Snowflake gets upset or thinks they do.

I always thought it was to recognize the commissioner who breaks the bottle of champagne on the keel. And to bare witness to the strength of the ship, referring to it as "she" is to believe and honor it as the spirit of success.

I say no change but they killed just about every other Navy tradition so it would not surprise me

Why would calling a big old gray thing "she" be offensive?

I'm Navy and we don't mess with tradition just to be politically correct. It's bad enough they have messed with The Crossing the Line Ceromony. We are allowing anyone to change this tradition just to be political correct. Sorry!!

If you look underneath, all ships have one thing in common. I think that makes them a "HE" :)

I seem to recall that some areas of the world refer to their ships in the masculine. I don't really see any reason for anyone to be offended in either case.

That's a ridiculous question. There are some traditions that should never change. It could only be offensive to the MOST ridiculously sensitive tree-huggers. Political Correctness has already gone too far as it is.
