Navy will soon let women serve on subs

Personally I believe this is a great idea...as women have proven themselves time and time again on Navy Surface Combatants the last decade or so...this was a given as it has been talked about for years...what do you think?

I totally agree, as long as there hot like Lauren Holly from "Down Periscope".

As an ex squid (but not bubblehead,) I am all for this. I think women should be allowed to fill far more roles than they're allowed in today's armed forces. About the only thing they can't do is Special Forces, and LRRP's (But then it's usually SF doing LRRP's anyhow.) The Russians made use of females as snipers in WW2, and they were deadly.

I guess if Sally Ride can fly a rocket ship than women can steer a submarine.

I've heard they allow females on carriers now!   Not in my day.
But I did attend the commissioning of the USS Ronald Reagan, and the deuce operating the biggest elevator in the world was just a kid.  Female.  And I have the photo to prove it.  Waana know who her supervisor was, for one of the greatest commissioning event the US of A has ever had??   An E3.   (look it up)
