Well at least you answered my question as to whether I was misinterpreting.
Glad you find this sh*t so amusing.
The equipment to drive an attack submarine at the speed, duration, and depth of a US Navy SSN is fraught with peril, to borrow the phrase from an earlier century.
The Battery is a floating bomb that could blast the whole boat a quarter mile high if you shorted the thing
The oxygen generator is literlly nicknamed "the bomb".
Reactors that are handled unprofessionally - i.e., Soviet Navy reactors - have killed more sailors than cholera.
The missiles and torpedos are designed to kill people, and only complete discipline and professionalism prevents that from happening
Now, picture in your mind a man and a woman, deeply devout family types, performing work on these systems.
After 45 days at sea, he will at least be thinking about how she makes him remember his wife and children, when his mind is supposed to be 100% on the wiring of the torpedo motor....
But as long as you find it amusing.........
Ya...Lets put women on military ships...Screw the torpedo motor.
one track mind, haven’t you.
