Default The Time Has Come

Watch the male recruitment figures skyrocket now

Women to be allowed to serve on Royal Navy submarines

Quote:
Women are to be allowed to serve on Royal Navy submarines, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has confirmed.
The first women officers will begin serving on Vanguard-class nuclear subs in late 2013.
They will be followed by female ratings in 2015, when women should also begin serving on the new Astute-class subs.

Now Germany has to work on a new wonder weapon to lure your sailors into our subs and get them to defect.
Our most beautiful and smart Fräulein did the job so far.

An advanced version of the BOLD decoy perhaps?

I believe the US navy had the same idea some time ago. How did that work out anyway

Recruiting won't go up, figures are to be cut again so recruiting will either stay at the same level or reduce.

Then, and this is the ingenius bit, they'll recruit females only, and pay them less*.



* I know that this in reality isn't the case any more, but it'd be enough to get the 'I'll-jump-on-that-passing-bandwagon-knee-jerk-reactionaries' upset over this. It'll take the heat off Clarkson, and Cameron if he doesn't fly home tomorrow with good news for UK.
