使用する際の注意点

• The singular form ship is sometimes used without any article, producing such sentences as "In all, we spent three weeks aboard ship." and "Abandon ship!". (Similar patterns may be seen with many place nouns, such as camp, home, work, and school, but the details vary between them.)
• Ships were traditionally regarded as feminine and the pronouns her and she are still sometimes used instead of it, though this usage is in decline.
