Default Why "her" ?

Just curious about one thing

In English, why do you write "she's" when you are talking about the JK?

A JK is not a girl ?!?!

In French, the JK is a boy

I think this is something that goes back to Britain. Her Magesties' fleet.

Other than my Wife and two daughter's my Jeep is my obsession. I feel more comfortable refering to it as a "she" rather than a" he". Thing is as far as I know women call their vehical's "she"also. I guess women aren't bothered buy such thing's.

I was just thinking yesterday of starting a poll on this: Him, her or it. For me it's "it." That doesn't mean I don't love it, but it's still an "it."
