I stand corrected

As of September 2024, there are 700 women serving as officers or enlisted personnel in the U.S. submarine force. This includes 87 female officers and 400 enlisted personnel. The Navy is actively working to increase the number of female officers and enlisted personnel in submarines, with plans to have 20 crews with female sailors by 2027.
