First Lady Michelle Obama has agreed to sponsor a future submarine named after her home state that will be staffed by an all-female crew.

The White House has announced that Mrs Obama has accepted an invitation to be the backer of the USS Illinois, a Virginia-class submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut, and Newport News, Virginia.

The new nuclear-powered boat is expected to join the fleet in late 2015.

Now, dat right dere is hilarious. Rush— what a mind.

Synchronized PMS battalion— the harpies screech while attacking. Men’s “generative” shrivel and recede as they....
“run away!!!”

At 600 plus feet and 30 knots— nobody knows who’s on the board, and.... that is another salient point behind the motivation to do this. It cannot work... ever. It is hard enough with all male crews. Many FReepers have great experience in this area of US naval service.

Their cruises will only be about one week long.

That is how long it will take them to plug all the heads (toilets) up.

You don’t understand... the Navy plan is to rotate Blue and Gold crews for subs. One all female, one all male crew. Each sub has always had two full crews that rotate.

Many concerns for this decision and the reduction in combat capability, plastered over for reasons of the political push from libs. It is a fact that one of the crews (the one Moochie would focus on, no doubt) will be all female. At least this obviates the potential for pregnancy on board as was seen on our carriers.

When women are in close quarters, they tend to “sync up”; about 4 months into the mission, they will kill each other with their bare hands. This is probably not a good idea.

I can just picture their first emergency. “These supplies on the dock don’t move themselves into the boat. What do we do?”

Looking forward to when the few women who can do the heavy lifting sue because they’re the only ones made to do it.

Nobody else is the least bit concerned that we’ll be sending out one of the least experienced submarine crews in modern history.

Captain Ahab is a formidable woman, built like a Silverback Gorilla but there are some fine lasses in the crew. Pity the cabin-girl she keeps locked up.

"Michelle Obama has agreed to sponsor a future submarine named after her home state"

What the hell does "sponsor" mean in this context? Usually "sponsoring" something means to substantially pay for it. Is Moochelle going to shell out $800 million (or whatever) to have her name stenciled on the side of the ship?
