In truth, I think we are going to have to lose a major Naval Vessel before that happens.

USS Acadia (AD-42), was pulled off the line during Gulf War I because its crew could not man the ship. Too many women sailors aboard had become pregnant during the cruise.

Ahh, I remember hearing about her while I was on active duty... the USS Maternity Ward
