[edit] Consistency of gender

In one paragraph Tirpitz is referred to as "she", and in another as "he". --Quoth nevermore 14:13, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I assume the problem area is "Tirpitz was aboard the SMS Dresden when she was ordered into the South Atlantic "? The she in question is the ship, not the pig. I don't think Tirpitz recieved specific orders of that nature, but I could be wrong. I can't see anywhere else where the pig might be seen to be refered to as 'she' (he was definately a 'he'), so I hope this clears that up? Benea 14:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
