Just how will having women aboard submarines enhance our Navy’s warfighting abilities?

Answer: It won’t and cannot be demonstrated in any fashion that it would. This is not being pushed for that... it is to make life “fair” for female Navy Academy grads who need more “fair” opportunities. These are multibillion dollar vessels that are entirely a weapon unto themselves. Totally wrong thinking on many levels. This is NOT like females in a fighter cockpit. Mistakes underwater can result in total loss of vessel with all hands and... all useful weapons in a firefight. Disaster.
