Women were barred from the United Kingdom Royal Navy’s submarine forces from 1901 until 2011, and the first females returned to active duty in 2014.

While that was certainly a victory for them, the cohabitation of men and women in such confined spaces under the sea was not without problems.

The results of an internal investigation were published, showing that women in the Royal Navy’s submarine forces have suffered multiple incidents of abuse and harassment by male submariners.

The investigation also revealed that some of the abusers were senior officers, and the misconduct included ‘at least’ one report of rape.

Admiral Ben Key, who ordered the probe in 2022 after the allegations came to light, said the “investigation has confirmed misogyny, bullying and other unacceptable” behavior.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

This is why women do not belong in the Military and especially on submarines.

There have been women who performed well in the military; but I agree that they don’t belong on submarines.

“Women were barred from the United Kingdom Royal Navy’s submarine forces from 1901 until 2011”

Were they allowed on the UK submarine forces before 1901? Why were they banned in 1901?

I was a girl in the military. In a combat zone. I had no trouble. I’ve lived in cities and have been around men and boys my whole life. Have been married and have been in bars with fighter pilots on a Friday evening - not night and not myself drinking. No.

I would never get on a submarine. I have never been enclosed with a large group of men. It is against natural law.

An unfortunate incident aboard the Royal Navy submarine HMS Pinafore.
