Submarines are not the spearhead of civil rights movements. And let'S not be mistaken: laws and rules you can form as many as you want: psychological nature of men and women remains the same, ignorrant of bureaucrat's intentions. It's no good idea to expect that nothing would happen if putting both together in a cramped environment for too long time and with no relief breaks possible.
I agree with you Skybird. Unless, however, there is an all female crew on the submarine. Now that would be interesting.
