Ships, for one, and already mentioned above.

(Do we really need a list?)

Cheers, -- N

Well, a list would support your position, so yes. If you could provide more than one example, you might have something.

And as pointed out above, "it" is grammatically correct for a ship, so as Umbran said, calling a ship "she" has nothing to do with grammatical gender, but with personification.

Of course the language "supports" grammatical gender. I could start referring to a chair as "she" if I wanted to, but there's nothing in English that says chairs should be female. Someone else might call the same chair "he", and be no less incorrect.

Just whatever you do, don't call your fiancée, "sir!"

Eh, at least we've got a comfy couch.
