Women Take the Helm on USS New Jersey, a Navy First
Story by Martha A. Lavallie • 19h


The U.S. Navy recently marked a milestone with the commissioning of the USS New Jersey, the first submarine specifically designed with women in mind. This state-of-the-art fast attack submarine carries approximately 40 female crew members, an unprecedented number for any vessel of its class.
 
The integration represents a significant shift in naval operations, with studies showing that diverse crews perform up to 20% better than their homogeneous counterparts.

This advancement comes more than a decade after the Navy lifted its ban on women serving on submarines in 2010, demonstrating the military’s ongoing commitment to gender integration and operational excellence.

The transformation of submarine service culture reflects a broader societal shift toward recognizing and utilizing the full spectrum of available talent in military operations.

In honor of the stupendous improvements women have brought to the Navy, I think the torpedoes should be painted pink. :yowsa:

I honestly don't care what sex/gender a person is as long as they can do the damned job they're assigned to.
I worked with some outstanding female maintainers and some useless POS males.
All this focus on gender is asinine, especially in the military.

How can a ship be "specifically designed for women" when much of the government can't define what a woman is?

They say it is a state of mind and nothing more... The contradiction beyond their ability to reason...

This will be the biggest investment to run aground in some third-world shithole.  And I, too, wonder how this ship was "specially designed" for women?

They can't do worse than those bro's in the Western Pacific fleet whose Navy ships collided with other vessels or underwater sea mounts.

The pink ones run on batteries.
