US Navy Rolls Out a Submarine Built With Women in Mind
Story by Polly Davis Doig • 11h


The United States Navy has been in the business of submarines for a long time, but it was only in 2010 that it decided to let women aboard. Cue 2024, and we have the first sub specifically designed with female submariners in mind. It's the USS New Jersey, reports CBS News, and it's not your grandmother's boat: Commissioned in September, the New Jersey can carry a dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles and 24 torpedoes, and is the "most advanced fast attack submarine" in the Navy fleet, per CBS. It can dive to more than 800 feet and pull 25 knots. A look around:
 
・The main differences: Per Stripes, the New Jersey has more sleeping and bathing areas (and more doors for better separation), steps to three-high bunk beds, and lowered and easier-to-turn overhead valves.

・The crew: "I have about 40 women on board, which, there's no other fast attack submarine with that volume of women part of the crew," says commanding officer Steven Halle. The total crew is about 135. He adds: "Studies have shown that a fully integrated diverse crew, they just perform better. Up to 15% or 20% better."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Probably has bath tubs for the women.  Picture that, bathtubs on a warship. {SARC}   :patriot:

Submarine is a closed system (the smell of women is everywhere). The average sailor is around 20 years.
These guys are doomed to a permanent 'boner' which will kill them if they act on it. My God! Just kill me already

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well I heard New Zealand's lesbian captain that just sank their warship is looking for a job (if they will take her partner too).

I honor the women who volunteered to be in the MIL, including my favorite cousin, but it’s just a bad idea.  Nowhere worse than subs.  Of which I engineered for a very memorable short time, long ago.

Nowhere are you more likely to have pregnancies, and then be in a a bad place to disrupt missions just to debark her.
