I had not read yet about the navy allowing women on subs what is the original reason for not letting them on subs?

One reason why women have always been kept from war is, what does a nation do when it loses a generation of it’s child bearing young females in the killing fields of mass war?

You Navy people tell me if I’m right.
My Dad was a WWII S class sub skipper. Those were some tight quarters, no possible privacy. Modern subs are bigger, but the crews are larger. Mixing male and female crew would be dynamite waiting to explode.

I’ll defer to those more knowledgeable.

I’d assume, you know, close quarters, and hazards.
