    Former First Sea Lord furious with gender controversy in referring to ships

    Lord West said that the move is “stark staring bonkers” and “political correctness gone mad” To change it in this trite fashion is just absolutely stupid. (Pic PA)

    The decision to scrap the “she” title for boats will “insult generations of sailors”, the former head of the Navy says. In a piece published in the Daily Mail, Admiral Lord Alan West, former First Sea Lord, has spoken out after a British maritime museum began referring to ships it exhibits as “it” in a bid to appear gender neutral.
