I'm sorry, but in quickly reading through your posting, I thought the list of ships read, "Wahoo!, Barracuda, Bonefish, Plunger, Tampon, and of course Bang to choose from.."
Well, it is in keeping with the subject matter of this thread.
“In declining states the leadership intuitively choses the most harmful course of action.”- A Great Historian 1888
They go home after work. For submariners, the sub is their home.
One thing I found in the miltary is that no matter how homely the girl was, there were always at least two guys that wanted to sleep with her, and were willing to fight about it.
OH CRAP! This is plain STUPID! I’m not a navy man, but I’ve certainly heard their thoughts on the subject.
Submarine duty is tough; those in it look forward to their time in shore duty. Women, when they find the sub business tougher than they expected, will simply get themselves pregnant and get reassigned to those precious few shore duty positions!
that’s hot!
Puts a whole new meaning to...’going down on a long, hard tube filled with seamen’...
The insanity of women on ships continues! I wish that the U. S. Navy would publish the cost of this social experiment, in dollars, in loss of effectiveness, in loss of readiness, etc. It is a bad idea gone worse IMO.
What will most likely happen is that it will only be for women officers only, and on ballistic missile submarines, or on guided missile submarines. So that they can put 3 women in a stateroom together of their own. I believe this concept will work very well. Smaller surface ships do nearly the same thing.
2 guys??? At least 100 hundred guys would sleep with the ugliest girl in the Navy.
Prepare to Snorkle!
Stupid big time.
What other country does this?
It does nothing toward the real goals of the military.
Practical reality has been completely ignored.
There is nothing wrong with women in the military, but front line service is not the place to be. It is bad enough to expect men to go the horrors of war, but why put women through it also? My grandfather was in trench warfare in WW1. Never spoke a word on his time in Europe. It was too painful and he could not live with the memories of what happened there. The doofuses who are promoting this want to see more female general officers, but do they also want to see more females in military hospitals, mental institutions or in graves? They always leave that part out.
Give the corpsman (corpse man, for those in the WH) the tools to perform abortions and C-sections and you are set.
Not like you can medi-evac a submariner off a sub.
I guess you can make a policy, that what goes on during sub missions stays on sub missions.
You could call it ‘Run Silent, Run Deep’
Yeah they have to come up to get messages from home. anyway I shouldn’t talk about it.
Subs are almost entirely without the space and privacy to make fooling around very attractive. For those same reasons, a more likely scenario are massive charges and suits against male sailors for not respecting their privacy, making crude remarks, telling offensive jokes and touching while maneuvering through the very tight passages of the boat. For all of those reasons it’s a poor idea.
My thoughts exactly.
An they will all be named Amiee......:o)
Well one thing that will stop this is when mass murder happens because women are having a PMS moment.
