Default *facepalm* I thought it was going to be all female crews on subs!!!

http://www1.voanews.com/english/news...-92469079.html

I think mixing genders on board ship is STUPID. It creates retarded soap operas that can decrease crew morale and readiness. And now I find that we're not going to have all female crews (which I think makes sense) but mixed!!!

The men and women of the armed forces are supposed to be professionals and conduct themselves in such a manner.

It he/she cant keep it in their pants they should be summarliy dismissed.

I would also be willing to bet that the vast majority of them are married.

Now that I said that it is enevitable that someone will drop their moral standards and 'fool around'.

Best intentions and all that.

I don't actually have an opinion all that strong being for or against but this thread reminds me of a discussion I had a year or so back with a friend who serves on subs in the RN and his response was...."At least they'll (RN) never be short of matresses".

Since there are no female submariners right now, the crew MUST be mixed unless you want a hastily formed crew with no sub operating experience being thrown into a crash course and then placed on the sub.
