I beg your pardon? 24 women are presently assigned to U.S. submarines after a high-profile change of policy in 2009 by the Navy that reversed the ban on women being part of the "silent service."Last but not the least..no women are allowed onboard submarines.
After being selected, the women went through an intensive 15-month submarine officer training program, which includes nuclear power school, submarine training and the Submarine Officer Basic Course.
The first of the 24 started their assignments on submarines in November and December of last year.
