'She' Explanation: Or that's how they're referred to in the UK. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2014-04-02 20:43:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A boat’s registration normally comes from either the nationality of the owner, or the country of residency of the owner and once a boat is registered she becomes a floating part of her flag state, and therefore she has to comply with the national requirements regarding training, safety equipment etc. Top of page 2 http://www.rya.org.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/legal/Web Docu... 47. Several ports of discharge 176 (1) Where several ports of discharge are specified by the policy, the ship may proceed to all or any of them, but, in the absence of any usage or sufficient cause to the contrary, she must proceed to them, or such of them as she goes to, in the order designated by the policy. If she does not there is a deviation. 177 (2) Where the policy is to 'ports of discharge,' within a given area, which are not named, the ship must, in the absence of any usage or sufficient cause to the contrary, proceed to them, or such of them as she goes to, in their geographical order. If she does not there is a deviation. http://www.jus.uio.no/lm/england.marine.insurance.act.1906/d... Under the "dead ship doctrine," a ship loses its status as a vessel when its function is so changed that it has no further navigation function. Simply taking a vessel temporarily out of service, however, does not render it a dead ship. A vessel does not cease to be a vessel when she is not voyaging, but is at anchor, berthed, or at dockside.[Mullane v. Chambers, 333 F.3d 322 (1st Cir. Mass. 2003)] http://definitions.uslegal.com/d/dead-ship-doctrine/ The warship continued on during the War of 1812 to total ten victories over enemy vessels (Historic Naval Ships). However, when examined in 1830 she was deemed unfit to sail and plans were made to have her scrapped. Due to overwhelming public outrage she was recommissioned by Congress and repaired. http://www.studymode.com/essays/Historic-Sailing-Ships-87060... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2014-04-02 21:10:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ship names - For first reference always include USS, the ship's name and the hull number: USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). Exceptions: Do not use "USS" for ships before 1909; or if she is not yet in commission; or she has been decommissioned and you are referring to the ship in her present state. There is no hyphen in the hull number. In All Hands text, the ship name is in italics. On second reference, use only the ship's name. Do not use "the" in front of a ship's name: "USS San Jose," not "the USS San Jose." Ships may be referred to as "she" or "her." Ships' nicknames are placed inside quotation marks on first reference only. USS LaSalle (AGF 3), the "Great White Ghost," sailed into San Diego. Ship names are not in all caps. Use USS Seattle, not USS SEATTLE. http://www.navy.mil/tools/view_styleguide_all.asp You might the following article interesting! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1388373/Lloyds-List-s... |
