Well, here in the US we refer to a navy vessel as a she. Even when the name is masculine, like the USS Ronald Reagan. I would refer to the ship as ‘she is a nuclear powered carrier'. You mention the Mogami as a he. I was wondering if in your country all ships are referenced as a he. It is more a cultural question than a military question.
