The Navy said it will deploy enlisted female sailors in 2016 aboard submarines with female officers already assigned to them.

"We will build upon the ships that have women officers to lead and bring in senior women at the chief petty officer level just like we did with the women supply officers," he explained.

There are currently more than 100 female Navy officers serving on submarines, Vice Adm. Mike Connor, commander Atlantic submarine force, said Thursday at the Naval Submarine League's annual symposium in Falls Church, Va.

"They are doing well," Connor said.

Where they will be submerged for months at a time.

Someone at the Pentagon needs to Google “menstrual cycle synchronization”.

Do “top” and “bottom” correlate with rank?

Before criticizing the Navy, you Freepers should ask yourselves what could possibly go wrong?

Put ‘em on attack subs. They’re genetically superior in that area.

The jokes are busily writing themselves even as we speak.

Real question: will there actually be Navy submarines with all-female crews? I’m not a sailor but it seems like there is more hard physical lifting & levering kind of labor on a sub than even on an aircraft carrier.

Women DO NOT belong on submarines. Unfortunately, it will take something tragic or criminal for the military to understand that.
