Default "Attack subs swap inactivation dates" with a little PC added!

http://www.navytimes.com/article/201...tivation-dates

"Naval Sea Systems Command spokeswoman Colleen O’Rourke said in an email that the Navy is looking at Block V designs that will include berthing space for women. That construction contract is scheduled to be awarded in 2019, O’Rourke said. Missile boats that are now in the design phase under the Ohio Replacement Program will be planned from the outset to include both men and women in the crew, O’Rourke said."

What the hell does this have to do with two boats swapping inactivation dates?

Since when does a Navy major command need a "spokeswoman" or "spokesperson" for that matter? Sounds to me like the Commander, Naval Sea Systems, is a gutless pussy!

The Navy could do allot better without the PR hacks (and pussy commanders)!

I am so glad I'm not in the Navy anymore.

No kidding, where do you think I saw it?

I was commenting on the needless last paragraph that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Understood. I just see so many post thing like this without ever checking, I thought I'd take the opportunity to make myself look foolish.

Not that I need a reason.
