You may wish to re-phrase that title to "the fairer sex"
 "Weaker" is gonna catch you some flak almost assuredly. Oh and this topic is not new. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=156713

What's the problem ?
 I mean, if the 688's can't accomodate women on board, wait until those boats are scraped and the new generation of subs goes active. I suppose those new boats will be constructed to accomodate female sailors. And therefore this problem will be resolved once and for all. And don't think its impossible. France up to now has had exclusively no female aboard nuclear subs (ssn's and ssbn's). But the new generation of ssn's (the Suffren class) is being designed in such a way to accomodate female crew members. And finally sex parity on subs will become a reality. If the french can do it, you poor americans surely can do it too.

I dont have a problem with women on subs. But I also wouldnt want to see subs to go over a refit to suit the womens needs. These are machines of war where every "unneeded" addition is lowering it's efficiency or as that artsy guy from the movie 9. Rota said: "Tank is the most beautiful thing in the world. It doesnt have any extra lines in it." (or soemthing like that
).
