I can just imagine what Nelson's 'Band of Brothers' must be doing in their graves? Huh

Women drive Cars, Lorrys,Buses, Trams, Trains and Planes, they have also flown in the Space Shuttle, so I cannot see the problem.

at least they dont have to reverse the ship!!!!

but once a month she may send the ship down your road and blow you out of the water just for asking her to move her ship..:)

Can you imagine parallel parkingBlink LOL
Whatever happened to "No women on the front line",they were transferring women off ships when going into a war zone,don't know if they still do...but how the heck could you do that if the woman in question is the Captain.
Sorry,I may be classed as sexist & get slammed down but in my opinion women should not be on board warships.
I note in the article that the rule governing that women can't serve on subs is expected to be relaxed soon....is this because they have sacked too many seamen & have to make up the numbers?
