Didn't they use the same arguments they do now when they debated whether or not coloured people should be allowed to serve with white people? "Can't be done, we've got wars to fight, and our troops are too racist to have Negroes among them!".

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.
Cough, Down Periscope, cough.

Of course not.



Maybe what the Navy should do is commission an all-female attack sub. Nobody in their right mind would mess with a Seawolf crewed by bitchy women that have been underwater, in cramped quarters and away from their families for months on end, would they?

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

Best intentions and all that.
Well said. I agree 100% on that.

Supposed to be and are, are two different things.

I completely agree. It takes two to tango and both parties should be held responsible.

That would be an incorrect assumption. The submarine force has one of the highest divorces ratings in all the services. This is due to the long times spent away from home with none or very little two-way communication. Add women into the mix and that already high divorce rate will skyrocket.

Nothing new really. Happens in the rest of the military all the time.

And to our European subsimers, your culture when it comes to sex is completely opposite of ours. We were founded on a Puritan lifestyle that persists to this day.

I would beg to differ. The vast majority of our enlisted men and women are indeed professionals.

The way we act around the general public and the way we act "behind closed doors" are indeed night and day.
