What is a pronoun for ship?

There isn't a single, universally accepted pronoun for a ship.

Here are some options depending on the context:

* "She" is a common pronoun used for ships, especially in maritime culture and folklore.

* "It" is a more neutral and formal pronoun that can also be used.

* "Her" is a possessive pronoun used to refer to a ship, such as "her hull" or "her mast."

* "Its" is the neutral possessive pronoun for "it."

Ultimately, the choice of pronoun depends on personal preference and the specific context.

Example:

* "The captain inspected her hull for damage."

* "The ship was launched and sailed into the open sea, it was a beautiful sight."

Important Note: The use of "she" for ships is a tradition that is not based on gender. It's more about personifying the ship and giving it a sense of personality.
