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

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.

I’d love to watch an all female crew attempt a TDU weight load out....or even just a standard ship’s stores load. All that stuff is brought down by hand.

Hell, I’d like to see almost any female pick up just one box of TDU weights.

On a sub there is no time for chivalry.

You all be dead.

This is the first SENSIBLE criticism I’ve read on this thread.
