Default All Female Submarine

RUSH: Michelle Obama is the sponsor of the Navy's first submarine with an all-female crew. Not kidding. Michelle Obama is sponsoring the USS Illinois, the first Navy marine to be staffed by an all-female crew. No seamen on board. I am not making this up: The first US submarine without seamen. And Michelle Obama is sponsoring it. It's the USS Illinois. It has an all-female crew, but again we were on the cutting edge here. Years ago we suggested the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion. Now the Navy has finally gotten around to implementing it with Moochelle in charge.

Seems we've come a long way in a year.
You don't put a completely inexperienced crew on a sub. And to put an all female crew onboard, that's what you'd be doing.

I did read both links but there is no mention at all of an "all female" crew.
You maybe should check you reading ability.

Edit: Are there ANY females serving on any USN SSN's right now? I think not, but i might be wrong.

They probably have corrected the articles and updated the sites already. Note the remark at the very end here:

PC has turned the West into such a madhouse that I would't be surprised at all if this idea would show up for real.

Note also the rigorous fact checking of the Limbaugh contingent. It's nice to have "facts" presented as "truths"...

This just in ... Rush Limbaugh is the most honest man in America ... as reported by Rush...

Even without an all female crew, imagine the situation when the first female XO makes the Captain stop and ask for directions...
