Enlisted Submarine
Monday, February 15th, 2010Women must be allowed to serve on submarines nuclear fast attack?
On the boat to which I participated there were only 2 heads for the personnel engaged for 3 showers ~ 100 males, unless the social mores have changed or agents to forego at their head, this creates a difficult situation. The mental stress of nearly 3 months at a time and logistics of personal hygiene seem to make this too sorry for the limited benefit. The divorce rate for current submariners is very high, I think this may have a negative impact on this statistic. The U.S. Navy announced this as a goal for the near future, women will sit for a nuclear submarine of any nation? I have no doubt that women are equally capable of performing the task than men. I was part of the USS Skipjack SSN585 and SSN646 Grayling, submarines attack Fast. I never served aboard FBM submarines. I heard rumors SSBNs had these luxurious rooms.
The only way it would work if it is a Man or XO Master Chief. Regular Jr. Engaged not work on FAS at all. Too close quarters, the head too low, warm shelves, etc. .. More deployments are longer and some other factors. If this happens then SSGN / SSBN are most likely to work. Shorter deployments already Separate living where you are 4 to 10 to one area instead of 30 to 50. Cooler rack, more storage, more space, passing each other in the room, more heads. The difference between other countries and submarines USS is that other countries have non-nuclear diesel are at sea for periods less time. They are not agents of personnel Jr. They have less crew and a little more room.
