Correction.  Lloyds is proposing this.  The Royal Navy and I assume the rest
of the population of the British Isles will continue refering to their
vessels as she.

    Paraphrasing Sir Winston, "Up with dangling participles we will not
put."

    Ever striving for political (and grammatical) correctness, the Brits are
now proposing that a boat be called an "it" instead of a "she."  Then again,
maybe they are referring to a PWC.
