The U.S. Navy has commissioned the USS New Jersey, its first gender-neutral submarine designed to accommodate both male and female sailors. This historic submarine, part of the Virginia-class fast-attack fleet, has been constructed with privacy and safety in mind, featuring enhanced facilities such as restrooms and sleeping quarters tailored to the needs of both genders. Vice Admiral Robert Gaucher emphasized that all future nuclear submarines will follow this gender-neutral design approach. While the commissioning was celebrated by many, it has sparked controversy among right-wing critics who denounce the concept as a reflection of 'woke' military policies, with some mocking the submarine's designation. As of now, over 700 women serve in the submarine force, marking a significant shift since the ban on female submariners was lifted in 2010. The USS New Jersey represents a pivotal advancement in gender equality in the Navy.
