Interesting. However, problems could occur when the female crew of the carriers are away for long periods of time. It would be difficult to avoid mutual interests/intimacy, especially when working together in confined spaces. Being a conservative sailor, I am never in favour of a mix-gender group in a combat ship, or in the field ops for the Army. Air Force - no problem and some of the best pilots are women.
Since you asked for constructive criticism, my honest opinion is that one of the largest negative influences in the USAF is the "chickafication" of the flying service, yes there are very competent women "airmen", but they are by no means a large percentage of "airmen".... while many people are able to safely operate an aircraft, to be the best, is the realm of only a few. Airmanship, has been compromised in the name of "equality", and that gentlemen is criminal, and a dereliction of duty, and one of the reasons "safety" has suffered... as the Father of seven daughters, I have encouraged them to do and be what they want, non have chosen to pick up a hammer, non-show any affinity for Snap-On tools, non are particularly inclined to want to fly, although several of them, like the idea, not one has "drooled on my gixxer", although one did "love", my old Toyota Landcruiser, my boys on the other hand have, and that gentlemen, is nature, not nuture. I agree that there are some women aviators who are better pilots than a large percentage of men, but they are genetic creations, the product of their genetics, to operate an aircraft can be taught to many, to be a pilot, is a rare gift, shared by a very small percentage of the population. I don't know if many of the PLAN's Naval Aviators are women, there are several in the USN, and I'm rather certain that some of those are among the best, but that is by no means a large percentage, but I will say that there are probably more men who are poor pilots than women, simply because of politics..
Women are far more analytical when it comes to "risk management", guys on the other hand, are much more willing to accept a measure of risk???? just my own observation here....
