"First Lady Michelle Obama has agreed to sponsor a future submarine named after her home state that will be staffed by an all-female crew. The White House has announced that Mrs Obama has accepted an invitation to be the backer of the USS Illinois, a Virginia-class submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut, and Newport News, Virginia.
The new nuclear-powered boat is expected to join the fleet in late 2015."
It makes a lot more sense than a mixed gender crew. Women should not be on subs with men.
The Australians do it and they are fine with them. It is called being mature about it. If people were mature about it, then this can happen. But, fast boats (SSN's) were designed to efficiently allow women to berth and bathe in privacy.
But the Google search still states lists Fox New's article as an "all female submarine crew."

Women are currently going the schools and being groomed to serve on submarines in the USA. Some foreign countries already do it. Read the link I posted earlier. There is much more on that blog with articles associated with female submarines. Including one already kicked out the service for having relations with a COB (Chief of the Boat).
My link explains allot about all the articles that were mistyped.
