Diesel-electric?
I believe it is not a Diesel-electric drive system. The Diesel engine is connected to the propshaft without transmission. 160.46.252.18 (talk) 14:49, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Calling a ship "she"
Hi @Murgatroyd49, would you mind elaborating on why a ship is described using "she" and not "it"? FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:29, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Convention for the last couple of thousand years and still the convention on wikipedia. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 11:32, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I thought it a ship thing. interesting tbh. Any pointers for someone who want to learn more about this? FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Apart from the obvious rejoinder to try googling it (not very helful!), there are discussions on the WikiProject Ships talk pages but you will have to hunt through the archives. Basically the ancient peoples regarded ships as things of beauty and having a soul and must therefore be female. An attitude that has remained down the centuries.
