That was always intresting why they refer to that. Example of one wold be the Whippet tank.. Now can one of the armour guy please enligthen us on this idea of male and female tanks during WWI.
There really wasn't anything special about "male" vs "female" - they were just different weapons configurations for similar hulls. Could just as easily been "A" and "B" or "left" and "right" or whatever.
if that rusty tub is a prize i would ask for a refund for the box of crackerjacks i won it in.
I think green peace should be out there protesting the rusty tub owners for the pollution they cause tothe world.
i guess some one will like that tub but not me

Mmmm...and besides furtive glances at the south end of a north-bound horse (going by your handle), what prizes have you ever captured, young fella? I sniff sour grapes in the air.
personally i have captured no prize winning ships. not sure i would want to capture one, what would i do with it living near the Ottawa River, they would not allow that ship to sail on the Ottawa too much risk of it sinking
I was part of a prize crew. A section of my NBP was tasked to provide security on a captured smuggler off the coast of Iraq that we had to transfer to a holding anchorage in the NAG. Our ship had an officer onboard to control the vessels movements and engineers for support as well.
There are two terms used to describe captured material:
* Captured enemy equipment (CEE) as its name says refers to any equipment captured from the bad guys; and
* Captured enemy documents (CED) which is self-explanatory.
A quick search of the internet also turned up the U.S. term which "captured enemy material (CEM)" which encompasses both CEE and CED. However, in the Canadian military I have never heard of the term CEM being used.
