What, in your opinion, would disqualify an all female crew from “manning” a submarine?

Please be serious in your response.

The strength factor. Everything is heavy on ships/subs. On a mixed u-boat the gals would have male help not so with an all girl crew.

The Army had problems with women crews driving trucks because most could not change the tires.

Women have not yet been crew members on US Navy subs.

Therefore, an all woman crew is totally without sub experience. Not just the ensigns and seamen; everyone.

Skipper, XO, all division heads, all chiefs, all engineers, pipefitters, etc.

Really DUMB idea, but it will sure make Obama, Michelle, Pelosi, Rachael Maddow et al. feel good about the “100 Fathom Ceiling” finally being broken for women.
