Enhanced recruiting, raising the payscale and benefits, etc.

Don't get me wrong - I really don't have a problem with women on subs. A sense of machismo isn't my guiding factor here.

The fact is, however, the US submarines are not designed to accomodate both genders. As explained earlier in the thread, the addition of women to a sub's crew only serves to inconvenience the men. So, that means there is no appreciable gain in performance (should all things be equal) but there is a measurable degradation in morale from a good portion of the crew (which could inversely impact performance).

So, as such, there's really no point.

Lets just ban men from subs if they have such a problem with being inconvenienced. Subs would be better maintained and probably get more kills during wartime anyways.

The Navy just better pray that some sub doesn't come back from patrol with a larger crew that it started with.
