I've said this before and I will say it again. Putting women on Military Ships is a BAD idea. The retired Naval Officers will tell you this.

This notion that all who preceded us were stupid needs to be assailed. No they weren't stupid. It is our generation who is stupid. There are excellent reasons that women should not be on ships. These young people are in their sexual prime. Their hormones are on fire at this age. Putting them in very close proximity to members of the opposite sex is akin to storing gasoline near a furnace. Nature will win out in the end. What does it take for the idiots on these congressional committees to understand. This Political Correctness has done enough damage. Do more tragedies need to occur?

several years ago there was a report of the high numbers of pregnancies of women at sea. Have there been any follow-up studies?

If anyone doesn't understand that co-ed fighting units are compromised, don't understand about the birds and bees.

Even if it doesn't, it's distracting, and that can be deadly on a warship. I want that young man's eyes glued to the radar screen, not watching some girl's chest.
