The subs will constantly have to be surfacing to let off pregnant sailors.
No more 6 months of underwater sailing!

The only people this policy will "serve" is our enemies.
As our submarines are constantly racing to back to port to discharge little seamen.

Women will be going down in submarines ?That's right. So the submarine itself will not be the only thing full of seamen.
That's two "seamen" jokes on one thread. Is that too many?

...women would soon serve on submarines...Good. No reason that men should have to die in metal coffins alone......any bulldike badass enough to past the Navy tests for submariners is more than welcome.

any bulldike badass enough to past the Navy tests for submariners is more than welcome. You don't think they'll just lower the standards like they do for Policewomen and Firewomen?
