Russian/Soviet major surface ships are not called by 'she' but by 'he' or, more often simply 'it'.
I know it is a commonly held view that all ships are 'female' well not in Russia they're not.
It is a little complicated ...
Complicated! It's not complicated, it's bloody simple!
What a pointless and silly post!
It matters not a jot what Russians call their vessels in Russian.
In English a ship is a "she" no matter what her nationality.
And a submarine is a boat and therefore "it".
FYI we are discussing this topic in English and so use English terminology, not Russian. Is that simple enough?
Strewth!
