- In naval parlance, ships are almost invariably referred to as female. the origin of this tradition is unknown, but there have been numerous explanations. as early as the second century bce the playwright plautus made a feminine connection when he wrote “a man looking for trouble only has to buy a ship or take a wife.” twenty-two centuries later, u.s. fleet admiral chester nimitz gave an equally cynical explanation, saying “it’s because a ship costs so much to keep in paint and powder.” most probably the custom arose in classical times, when each newlylaunched vessel was dedicated as a bride to poseidon (or neptune). in consequence, ships became feminine in latin and all the romance languages and, even though english nouns do not have gender, it would have been natural to follow suit (see also names).
