Lecolius, in English, you don't refer to vehicles or ships as "him." We use the nongender pronoun "it." A gender pronoun was only ever used with ships, which were referred to as "her." That is now considered archaic and impolite, and ships are also usually referred to as "it" now as a result of our changing gender politics. I know that in certain other languages (I don't know your native language though I'm guessing its Germanic in origin from your easy grasp of English grammar) ships were once referred to as "him" but not here. Just mentioning this because of your work on the super-heavy tank pages. It's a consistent error, so I just wanted to point it out. Thanks.
