Career development will be another...

Based on Army experience, that's actually what this is all about.

They will, and they'll typically be on Tridents, not fast boats.  However, the habitability issues are but one problem.  Career development will be another, particularly within the officer community.

I hate to be a cynic but in the end "Navy's expectations for female career advancement will be met" for proper advancement.  Wink, wink nod.  Fast track and all that.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what'll happen the first time some tyrant female CO tries to give the COB a "time-out" like a certain recently-relieved skimmer CO did.

It sure as hell won't be pretty.

Didn't a couple of women Captains just get booted out of the Navy? One for racing her ship and one for abusing her crew?

I only remember the headlines vaguely

The only time I've ever seen racks over three high was onboard the Tarawa. Marine Corps berthing. Five high racks are "teh suck".

Bearing in mind that it is the Navy we're talking about here, I guess if there are three racks and two guys in each one, they are stacked six high...

If a woman does get pregnant and delivers at sea it'll give the term "berthing" a new spin.

"berthing"...."birthing"

I know. Bad pun.  :asssmack:

Not a nuke boat, I've been in a couple of older ones.  No burning desire to spend any real time inside something that sinks on purpose except as a tourist.
