Expect lots of unplanned pregnancies sooner than later.
That is the least of my concerns, but if there is any of that it will create major problems.
My main concern is that this very junior officer wont get the same temperament that others must have to effectively run a boat.
We’ll see what happens, but I don’t like it already.
Does she get her own shower?
Me brudder, on an LST and a destroyer tender in the 80s, saw his ship/shore rotation go from 3 years/3 years to 5 years/1 year after his rate was femalified because the Navy’s machine shop women at sea usually got as pregnant as possible as often as possible to get mandated shore berthing for birthing.
Since pregnant females cannot serve aboard ships once their condition is known, I wonder what the Navy's contingency plan is to remove the pregnant females off the deployed subs and transfer them to shore stations?
Is there enough room to find a private spot to "hook up" on a sub?
