The USS Illinois, the first Navy submarine to be staffed by an all-female crew, received the support of the White House on Memorial Day.
On Monday, First Lady Michelle Obama officially sponsored the Virginia-class submarine, which will be one of the newest nuclear-powered boats scheduled to enter the fleet by 2015, according to a White House statement.

While the issue of can they or can they not safely and
effectively crew and operate a submarine is a reasonable
issue to discuss their is one more issue that is far more
critical. Can they be trusted to launch if such an order
was given or if other circumstances required that they do
so. The psychological differences between women would make
such one wonder if women have what it takes to perform an
action that they know could kill millions.
Naval version of Rush’s “All Amazon Battalion”.
Fights would abound.
“I hope you brought enough for everyone”
Them’s the simple facts.
USS PMS or
USS PMSNBC (NBC=Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical).
Martha Stewart has had some excellent experience doing interior decorating in very small spaces. Think they’ll hire her to do the decorating on their sub?
Different on a sub—if you ain't got efficiency and harmony on the boats you got dead sailors.
So all male or all female crews make sense and I wish the ladies well.
They’ll have a vagitarian menu....
Ha....PMS Illinois
This just figures they name a submarine after a state that is under water.
No one yet mentioned the Gay thing. That sort of makes the sub target rich for the L-gals. I guess they did not see A Few Good Men.
And since when did the Wookie become CIC of Navy?
> wonder if women have what it takes to perform an

VA Class is a nuclear-POWERED ATTACK sub. not a boomer.
OMG what is next with these liberals...The Gay Sub christened by ODumbo. sheesh
*(Uterus)
This will put John Semmens out of business.
The USS Tampon?
No, seriously, could an all female crew give a sinking battle-damaged sub the same chance of survival as an all male crew? Are they physically strong enough?
Bingo.
There’s enough tension on board already without a direct injection of estrogen/testosterone into the operating environment.
Another thing that will suck is that when you have 5 heads and 2 showers for 100 men and you take one away for 24 women, there will be resentment.
They propose to fix this by making all the women officers who will share the officers quarters.
No problems there /s
Good luck getting a red blooded NCO to take a male ensign or LTJG seriously on a boat.
This coed boats would be pure trouble.
They’re gonna love meeting the COB.
The crew will be all beings, but you can bet there will be plenty who are of different sexual persuasion and the same problems that may have been a concern regarding fraternization and harassment will not likely go away.
This is incredibly stupid, sexist, and ridiculous to do this crap to the military. There is no equal anything in the military, it’s the damn military.
Utterly stupid. It will appear like Obama has his equivalent of Kadafi’s female guards.
