Navy will soon let women serve on subs

[JackLuis]

Hey Desert Pirate, you've been on a sub a time or two.

"Going down on the Captain" or down with the Captain?

I see a cool plot bunny...an all female submarine. Hm. A female Captain Nemo...

There are some subs on this forum already. I don't how they'd feel about having women serving on them.

I've never known a nukie puke who wasnt a pussy.

The surface Navy has long cast disparaging remarks towards the Silent Service, calling then Queens of the Fleet, etc. Given the cramped quarters on even the most up-to-date subs, this could get interesting.

From what I have seen and heard they are a bit cramped but depending on the type of submarine they are nothing like the W.W. II subs.

Then again anyplace where you are confined for long periods of time with a minimum of privacy will get cramped.

And for this committed claustrophobe, any mention of a submarine is chilling. I don't care how big you make them!

I remember the film Operation Petticoat (1959) with women on board a WWII submarine in the Pacific.

It was a stupid film with predictable humour. I remember it because it was the first date with a particular young lady.

Hey, I liked that film (Mind you, I saw it on tv as a child). Cary Grant and Tony Curtis and a pink submarine

And it was amazing how big it was inside! I remember taking the tour of the U5xx something down at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Those passageways were not as wide or as tall as they were in that film.

A modern Nuke boat must be a lot more comfortable than the WWII Fleet boats.

I don't know how comfy they are now, but when I was on nuke boats in the 80's every day was like changing clothes in a telephone booth with two other guys in there performing equipment checks or greasing their military bearing.

Now put 2-3 brilliant dedicated women on a boat with a hundred guys and seal them up for 6 months at a time.

Throw in a "Secret Mission to Save the Planet" and mix well with 3D Computer tech...

I liked that film. It took me ages to find a copy.

And I understand there's great deal more space in a big war-canoe. Lots of lovely kit to play with and less crew.

A sub is cramped and busy. The job is tense at all times, think about it we normally cruise at 400 feet. A wrong move can kill 110 - 130 people. Who care about a $500 million or more sub?
The last thing needed is to add sexual tension with a co-ed crew. If women want to wear "Dolphins" the can have an all female one.

There you go. A pirate submarine...the S.S. Wet Pussy...Captain Bernice Clitongue and her female crew of bisex buccaneers...they loot ships of handsome, well hung male crew members...or attractive women...use them as sex toys...then leave them on some resort island to find their way home.

Tom Clancy, eat your heart out.

Wait til you've been at sea for five months, Nancy'll start looking pretty good.

Heh. After five months at sea, the deck plates start looking pretty good.

Og,
You have a memory like a steel trap. I saw the film ( along with the Rockettes ) at Radio City Music Hall when I was "knee high to a grasshopper." My siblings, cousins and I all found the film riotously funny at the time— who's to know whether 'twas the idea of Cary Grant's unintentional success torpedoing the Japanese version of a "deuce and a half" on the beach or the absurdity of a pink submarine that made such a lasting impression.

As the result of a recent serendipitous re-encounter with the film, I concur with your characterization of the film as possessed of essentially sophomoric humor and plot. For better or worse, it is an indisputable fact that certain things one finds side-splitting when one is young have an awful tendency to lose their novelty and freshness with age.

You're right Jack but think of the commercial possibilites. Some of those ladies will make big bucks.
