I hope they don’t think they can correct shipboard incompetence without reestablishing Surface Warfare Officer School and getting women off ships.

Women on ships aren't going anywhere. There's more women in the Navy today than there were yesterday, and the day before. And there will be more tomorrow. I'm not sure where people get the idea that women on ships are a problem. Sure, there are occasional pregnancies and sexual relationships but it's not a crisis. Getting caught having sex while underway is punished severely. Loss of rank is guaranteed.

There's not a problem with shipboard incompetence. Sailors today are the most educated, disciplined, and professional that there's ever been. Many of the women I serve with are without a doubt my hardest-working and most dependable Shipmates. Today's Navy relies more on technical aptitude rather than brute strength. Women do just fine.

“Women do just fine.”

I’m not even going to argue it with you. I just hope I’m not around to see what happens when we actually go to war with a significant enemy.
