SuperKungFu Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 They launch her through one of the torpedo tubes. If one of them gets preggo, a torpedo won't be enough to push out the weight :megalol: Use an ICBM [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 With women the subs will gain the new ability to fire flack, :D .

pauldy Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 I could see imminent production of Tor-pedos [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 She gets an extra check-up by the doctor. What's the problem? Women get pregnant, that's just how it is. I don't think I am against it, but...

EtherealN Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 And besides - a normal pregnancy is 9 months. So if she gets pregnant during the deployment the commander might want to talk to her and whomever else was involved about the regulation definition of "hotbunking". Then when they get to port, she doesn't get called back out again on schedules that might make her go into labour during the trip. And if she gets pregnant while at home, well, they're probably not going to ask her to step aboard one week before she's full term, are they? No need to invent problems where none exist. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Stickers Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 Oh I know they do. I am just thinking of the mission/national security issues that could come up. Specifically they are only allowed on boomers at the moment. I guess anything could happen though you know? Anyone could get sick/injured and might need to be removed from the boat to a hospital. She gets an extra check-up by the doctor. What's the problem? Women get pregnant, that's just how it is.
CyBerkut Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 I doubt that (known to be currently) pregnant crew members would be allowed to stay on board a nuclear reactor powered submarine (and capable of carrying nuclear weapons) for very long. If that's the case, it will be interesting to see how they balance that concern against the boat's deployment requirements. As I recall, pregnant female employees in commercial nuclear power plants get re-assigned to duties that keep them from getting exposure. Submarines during my time in the service probably couldn't implement such an approach on-board and still be within satisfactory limits. I don't know about later designs. The newer boats may have even lower dose areas, but I'm pretty sure the limits have tightened up also. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There's no place like 127.0.0.1
topol-m Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Besides being pregnant she will start eating for 3 guys (and food portions are limited in a sub), and stirring conflicts, etc. etc. When that happens dump her on the first piece of land in sight. If there is none - surface, put her in a rubber boat and show her where the North is so that she can go there and cool down the emotions :bye_2: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EtherealN Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Oh I know they do. I am just thinking of the mission/national security issues that could come up. What issues? While she is on board she doesn't even know where she is (unless she's Captain, XO or navigator I guess). While she's not on board she has no clue where the boat is. I see no way for a pregnancy to cause any issues at all.
