"She" or "it"?

The article's lead refers to the ship as "it", while the rest of the article uses "she" and "her". Is this intentional? GBev1987 (talk) 12:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

“She” and “her” aren’t proper to use for ships, only a tradition… recommend change all those to “it” CanO27sprite (talk) 18:44, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feminine pronouns are entirely proper to use for ships so you're wrong on that. As for your recommendation, I for one oppose. Have a nice day - wolf 01:07, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

any details of damage done at D-Day?

Fog of war aside, are there any fairly reliable reports of hits from her guns on German positions & the damgage therefrom? is 'therefrom' a word? it is now! -HammerFilmFan 50.111.195.179 (talk) 16:02, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
