Equally gramatically valid in English is to refer to a ship as “it.” I’ve never heard of any inanimate thing referred to in English as a “he” however. It would seem that “she” is preserved as an honorific.

I’ve never heard of any inanimate thing referred to in English as a “he” however I thought of one. Some people used to call Teddy Kennedy "he".
