female submariners in 2009

"...the Navy plans to get women into submarines and avoid mixing with seamen by making two US Virginia class subs consist of all-female crew and officers."

 Poor wording or a bit risqué?
 
Heads are the biggest reason I would believe. The Ohio Class could probably pull it off (and we do for midiops) but it sucks only having 3 toliets/2 showers for 120 guys.

limited space to provide the extra seperate facilities, sexual harasment, and if it was an all girl sub if you group girls together for long enough their periods all match up at the same time... can u imagine hell? well thats prolly it!

I showed the article to my command (Submarine Squadron 11) including my Commodore. The reaction was great :eek:. I then showed them the april fools. Everyone got a kick out of it. Especially the last line from the Chief about his mother-in-law.:D

doesn't pregnancy play its role?

That's what I always thought... a woman comes on board and doesn't know shes pregnant, and a possibly very sensitive mission is compromised because it has to surface... or she hooks up with a male if they have mixed crews, same thing.

The real issue is that all submarine officers are NUC officers and that there are special Navy and Federal requirements for ionizing radiation exposure to unborn children and pregnant women.

So these requirements don't apply to female surface nukes?
