Best case scenario with both sexes on subs is that all the men are respectful non-creeps, they will still resent the hell out of the women. Subs are already cramped with little privacy possible. How many men don’t get to shower after a 12hr shift because they were unlucky enough to have personal time conflict with “women’s bathing” time. How many men are cramped into smaller quarters so that the women can have their own area. Once the navy gets it’s 20% women sub they are shooting for, how long until you have a pregnant sailor on a sub? Anybody doubt the man will be punished worse than the woman.
If the navy must have females on subs, why not an all female sub crew?
I've been on a nuke sub, some of the food, mayonnaise for instance, comes in jars.

There have already been female sailors who got pregnant on US Naval vessels...
don’t remember if they were on subs, but when the women had no choice about whether or not they got assigned onto ships, the only way off was to be pregnant...
and so they did..just to get shore duty again...
In the '70s, a study was done in college dorms where women's menstrual cycles tend to synchronize around the cycle of one female. Imagine the implications of an entire sub crew with PMS.
Now, imagine that on a boomer...
