But...but I like cookies :cry:

Hmm, USS Siren crewed entirely by women, Hubba hubba!:hmm:

All for it, but you won't be able to call it the Silent Service any longer.

Seriously, when a crowd,bunch,gaggle of women are together there body clocks synchronise 3weeks per month lovely calm atmospher, feng shui, flower arranging, emroidery, dare I say cookies. 1 week of, "I've got a frickin' big red button here and if you don't say the tuna casserole is the nicest you've tasted....."

and what's this about pregnant sailors having to be airlifted home? I mean, how long is a tour of duty? It takes my wife at least 9 months gestating before anything noteworthy happens. IIRC the RN hasn't got the diesel for anything more than a trip round the harbour.

Oh you have no idea...:damn:

Only if they were all Dikes that way they would be agressive in combat:D

Ah... that must be why all male submariners are gay then... :hmm:

I always figured the first all female sub in the world would be
HMS Revenge by name.

He, he, good one :up:

thinking differently
 

The reason you would like women as a part of a team, any team is because they have different ideas than men. When your in trouble and need of a solution you don't want a crew that are all the same, you need some diversity to come up with good ideas. You want women on subs because they can make subs better and more efficient, not becuse of equal rights. I dont get the problem several other NATO countries have had female submariners, heck Norway even had a female commander :o

The tone of the original post was bad enough, subsequent replies just compounded it. Mugs of mulled misogyny and homophobia now being served in the refectory.

Not homophobic at all. Ive known a lesbian lady who has been a good friend for many years now, shes a tough one that could easily punch over the average bloke. Thats why i said if the navy had a bunch of dikes to man a sub they would probably be very agressive in combat and do it well :)

The potential of another Plunger Incident :rotfl:

Uhm Hi Comsublant.....we have a problem here

Not just this morning Dan ;), but it just shows how little of an article you can manage to read in a quick scan (like the title and a couple of random sentences)...

What happened was I *********** can't tell you right now.:damn:

We can still have that conversation; just not here.

Guilty as charged!! But purely because submariners need good cookies on those long dull patrols!!

Love this thread...

I definitely think it would be kool for an all female sub.

Maybe the USS Amazon! /Ducks the flak... :lol:

My current GF is ex US Navy sailor and she was on a sub tender which was a mixed crew, they survived.. but there was plenty of hanky panky onboard. :o

I have nothing against lesbians.

(Commenting on an earlier post).

I was a commercial fisherman out of Cape Cod in the late '70s and had occassion to ship out with a few female crew. We would go out for two weeks at a time. Our regular crew were a bunch of animals without the discipline of the US Navy and I have to say that everyone behaved themselves quite well. And the women were quite capable and hard working. There was never a thought that they did not do their share.

Women? On MY sub? It's more likely than you think!
