<p>“One might also ask why no women on subs?”</p>
<p>Several of the world’s navy’s allow women to serve on submarines.
The Norweigians appointed the world’s first female sub captain in 1998.</p>
<p>As far as the Navy is concerned it’s a matter of money, not ability,</p>
<p>“The US Navy argues it would cost $300,000 per bunk to permit women to serve on submarines versus $4,000 per bunk to allow women to serve on aircraft carriers”. When the DOD already spends that proverbial 250.00 for a toilet seat maybe its not such a good reason after all :)</p>
