Lighten up a lil bit. There are obvious and legitimate reasons why women cannot serve on submarines.

No kidding.
It's nothing to do with skills or capability, it's simply pure biology. You know submarines have no medical facilities, right? NONE? Here -

And, unlike a carrier/destroyer/cruiser, if someone ends up pregnant on the ship (which has happened on nearly ALL surface ships women have been stationed on with mixed-crews), you can't just land a helo on the deck to bring them to shore. Indeed, depending on where the sub is stationed, there is likely
no way to get them off the boat at all without returning to dock...costing literally millions of dollars. Submarines are kind of a unique thing - very oddly designed for a specific mission, and requiring all kinds of special considerations in operations as it is.
Forget the fact that (the article in question) a submarine full of women would have other issues. I assume you know that groups of women, when living in proximity,
end up with their monthly cycles in sync? I certainly respect women's ability to control this to a large extent, and in mixed-company crews, it's almost never an issue. But on a small, tightly enclosed space like a submarine? With an all-female crew? Can you IMAGINE the stress that would cause?
