No, this is not April Fool. Mixing sub crews was a bad idea, obviously. Quote:

Sex maniacs!
Drink more strong black coffee and keep your pants on. Joking aside this always was a bad move probably done to keep the PC police happy.

Makes one wonder if the first Lady Marine combat-officer's platoon of Y-chromosome Myrmidons will keep a straight face when ordered to 'fix bayonets'....

Now if the command were to affix bayonets that would be more serious. Bur really, when was the last time we actually affixed bayonets in combat?

Slightly off topic (but not much) this reminded of the story of an old friend of mine called Apples who served on a Swiftsure boat back in the 90s.
He managed to get on Blind Date (a UK TV programme, google it if you don't know the format) and got picked by the lovely young lady. Once abroad on holiday (and on camera) he started ripping the piss out of it for sh*t and giggles. Told her how he loved snogging other guys and that was how they coped alone for long times at sea. He was on leave when it aired on TV but needless to say he got to meet a lot of senior officers for a lot of one-way chats when he got back to work

Well like I said, glad it was a female ... the other side of the coin could be much worse.
