Female officers to board subs

For the first time in submarine history, female officers will be serving along side men. They’re expected to begin submarine duty later this year.



  Waiting To Sea

The Navy’s preparing
For a whole new sight.
As move to maneuver
Will remain rather tight,
It could be the focus
Of millions of eyes,
As the ladies prepare
To join all those guys.
Though women have served
On U.S. Naval tubs,
It’s a first for mixed genders
On American subs.
