Women on submarines

Torvald Von Mansee · 10-19-09, 02:53 AM

Well, I can see it working if the entire crew were female (I don't think it's a good idea to mix genders on warships for reasons which should be self-evident).

In all seriousness, I also wonder if it would be good if an entire crew were having PMS simultaneously due to cycles syncing up.

Thats actualy a myth. A womans cycle may be the same as another wormans but thats just random chance. Think of it as the windshield wipers and turn signal on a car, at some point they maybe operating in sync but then they go out of sync.

Female mids eager for submarine duty: Up to 7 academy seniors could be among first women aboard

It's creeping up on us.

This will destroy the esprit de corps of the submarine community. Submariners aren't stupid people. I see retention rates dropping significantly after this is implemented. Affirmative action at its best here.

Other navies have women in service in subs and it works.

Because if everyone else does it we should too? How many of those navies operate nuclear submarines?
