? 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.

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

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