First Women Submariners to Enter Service in the ROK Navy Next Year

The ROK Navy recently fielded new submarines that are large enough to house separate living areas for female sailors:

One of the United States’ closest military allies has selected its first group of enlisted women to serve aboard submarines starting next year.

Seven female noncommissioned officers were chosen from more than 20 applicants to undergo training for submarine service, the Ministry of National Defense said in a press release Monday.

Training is expected to last until January or February and is required for all submariners, a South Korean navy spokesman told Stars and Stripes by phone Tuesday.

Two commissioned naval officers selected last month to serve on a submarine are also undergoing training, the spokesman added.

Used to be:

Go down 10 men, come up 5 couples.

Now:

Go down 8 men and 2 women, come up with 8 destroyed careers and two alleged victims of sexual harassment

More disruptive and destructive American cultural imperialism.

Coming soon:

Go down 4 men, 2 gays, 3 dykes, and a tranny, come up 1 man, 2 gay couples, 1 lesbian couple, 2 trannies, and a non-binary.

No jokes about seamen, please. Like balls, that’s low-hanging fruit.
