Loose lips sink ships.

Periscope UP!

Fire torpedo Tube One. "Ohhh!"

"She's going down!"

I wonder what Admiral Rickover would've thought of this...?

Cheers!

. . . where boobs won’t fit.

I can think of some female candidates who qualify in that respect.

Yes, way too close and cramped for that to work out well. The sub is likely to come back from a cruise with more people than it launched with.

I could see a ladies’ submarine, but not coed.

There would be fights, and moral would plummet.

Morale, too.

If you put women prostitutes on subs then you would have the same nut jobs demanding that homosexals be quartered on submarines. I know things have changed, but when I was in the Navy (Korean conflict)there was a problem with space on ships.

The smaller the ship, the more cramped the quarters. Submarines were probably the worst in that regard. I know that there are bigger subs now, but space is still a problem. There is a fair number of pregnancies that have resulted from women being on sea duty. Forget the P.C. garbage. It weakens our miltary.

Think pheromones in a confined space. Remember the air is recirculated and treated, not refreshed.
And how do you train a female crew with out them going out to sea with experienced males to teach them?
wont happen

It’s kinda going to be a mute point, because Obama is trying to scrap our nucs and reduce the navy even further..while promising a seabased missile defense.
Liar Liar bras on fire.

No thanks. They would all be on their cycle at the same time and none of the men would survive.
