Navy Investigating If Female Officers Were Secretly Recorded On Submarine -- Washington Post

The Navy is investigating reports that some of the first women ever assigned to a Navy submarine were secretly recorded on video while showering, a Navy official said.

The incidents allegedly occurred on the USS Wyoming, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine that is based in Kings Bay, Ga. The Navy first learned of the allegations last month, and launched an investigation along with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the official said.

Navy Lt. Leslie Hubbell, a service spokeswoman, declined to specify what happened, citing the ongoing investigation. The Navy was notified of possible criminal behavior on board the Wyoming, she said. Another Navy official confirmed it involves allegations that women were recorded on the Wyoming in various states of undress.

Can there be any worse folly than insertion of multivariate gender dynamics into traditionally well-run and highly disciplined U.S. strategic missions (Air Force and Navy nuclear missile crews)?

Combining biological clocks and nuclear triggers may be politically correct, but it was unnecessary and now appears imprudent.
