Although English nouns are all neuter it is still fairly common to use 'she' and 'her' when talking about ships as well as, sometimes, cars or countries.

A word that can cause misunderstandings these days is 'partner'.
This used to mean a business partner, or maybe a dancing partner. Nobody would have thought it was any other kind of relationship. Now, if you introduce someone as your 'partner' people are likely to assume it is a bedroom rather than a business or dancing arrangement.
