Men and women serving together on combat surface ships has decreased their (all the usual PC issues of frivolous but taken seriously accusations of racism sexism oh and homophobia now too I suppose, so the “victims” can do what they want) effectiveness but not so bad that the vessels are total basket cases.

Different on a sub—if you ain't got efficiency and harmony on the boats you got dead sailors.
So all male or all female crews make sense and I wish the ladies well.

Bingo.
There’s enough tension on board already without a direct injection of estrogen/testosterone into the operating environment.
Another thing that will suck is that when you have 5 heads and 2 showers for 100 men and you take one away for 24 women, there will be resentment.
They propose to fix this by making all the women officers who will share the officers quarters.

No problems there /s

Good luck getting a red blooded NCO to take a male ensign or LTJG seriously on a boat.
This coed boats would be pure trouble.

They’re gonna love meeting the COB.

Are there currently any co-ed subs to provide officers and crew already trained on a Virginia-class boat? If not, is the Navy really going to trust a new sub to a rookie crew?
