I fell over this article.
I found it a bit odd that Peter Madsen referred to Nautilus as "she" when the media tried to interview him when he first got on shore after having been "missing".
I know you refer to sea vehicles as females. but how many take it as far as this? It seems very personal (Google Translate):
Peter Madsen cried over submarine

Peter Madsen broke together at the seeding of Nautilus, now a possible crime scene.
The 33-tonne heavy-duty submarine Nautilus is now being found in Copenhagen's North Port as a presumed crime scene. But when the home-built vessel was launched from the B & W foundation in May 2008, it was a different party, dancers in sailor costumes and horn music.
In the movie 'My own own submarine' made by Fox Media Documentaries, one sees a deeply bewitched and upset Danish inventor who gets crying when his second home-built submarine Kraka comes sailing to follow the seeding of Nautilus.
"When I see Kraka here today, it's too bad, but it's beautiful. It's her day. It's very special to me .., he says, stopping standing still:
- ... that she is here too and sees big sisters in the water. Last Saturday she was the queen, today she is only little sister. And I can not help thinking what it's like to be submarine and second in command. Now Nautilus swears again. Let's see if she can flow, he says in the movie.
Very focused
It is the documentary Robert Fox who made the movie. He spent 100 days with Peter Madsen and saw how he collapsed when he saw Kraka.
- He's completely finished. He walks almost in and personalizes them (submarines, ed.) As little children. It's one more mechanism you get when you get maximum, he says.
He saw a man who was extreme. Profound. And got a lot of things done.
"My perception of him is that he is very focused on his goal. He wakes up every morning with a checklist of what to do when he is in a project. And he will be incredibly disappointed if you do not fit into the plan. He can not relate to things that are not in his plan, and he often gets disappointed with people, predicts Robert Fox.
