Holey moley.
Has anyone thought through problems?
For example, there are documented cases of girls in the Navy getting pregnant on ships. How will they handle pregnancy in a submarine? Just saying its happened on ships and could happen on a sub.
could happen? it will happen. the bigger question how is the Navy going to handle a pregnant female, who’s fetus has been exposed to Ionizing radiation for weeks maybe months? From experence, a medavac or humavac doesn’t happen over night!
And then starts the PR nightmare for the Navy! I mentioned this scenario at an Admirial’s call shortly before retiring in 92. My solution? all females on subs be on mandatory Birth control, as politically Incorrect as I am :)
All branches deal with women getting pregnant to avoid deployment.
