How about this theory? Decades ago, men and only men, operated cars, ships, trains, buses, etc. and therefore were 'in control' of these machines. Similarly, decades ago, men were 'in control' of women (I know some still believe this falsehood) and therefore everything they controlled was thought of as a "SHE".

It can be a similar effect with a ship, car, what ever, women are often the object of our affection. I do like Brian Hawk's answer as well.

Regrading the ship I would dare to assume that since there were only men in the sea crew, making the ship "female" is a way to express their love & care for it.

The pragmatist in me knows that link after I've teased out every line of thought and held both my feelings and the watch itself up to the light the answer of what it means is probably just money. Is there a more consistently link lucrative broadly appealing entertainment juggernaut than the Marvel Universe There is not. Is AP also a consistently lucrative broadly appealing if prohibitively expensive entity of its own It is. link Perhaps the two aren't such strange bedfellows after all.
