As an old smoke boat sailor, "Playboy of the Pacific" and Shell Back, I can truly appreciate the memories of diving from the shears in Acapulco Bay and taking a dip at the equator in route to NZ. Those were the days! Can't even imagine females aboard...but most welcomed in the goat locker! =) Great job on this video! Thx mate!
@RM1SS These photos were extracted from a set of pics put up on the Facebook page, Got Dolphins. I really appreciate fellow submariners sharing their experience with other bubbleheads. Thanks for sharing, mate.
@schaeff042 Those are most likely midshipmen. I had three steel beaches with our female midshipmen on board in my 5 years on my boat. They are out there to experience everything the Navy has to offer. And if you haven't noticed anything about military news, they are about to start allowing females to serve on submarines as well. Starting with the officers and working their way down to the enlisted eventually...
@Dizzlenator05 Valid point that they might be midis. i did midi ops a few times and we never were that lucky. (or unlucky depending on how you want to look at it.)

@Dizzlenator05 These ladies are midshipmen on board the USS Michigan during summer cruise.
