BRAVO ZULU!
About time!
The Royal Norwegian Navy was the world’s first to allow women to serve aboard their submarines in 1985, at the height of the Cold War. Norway’s Scandinavian neighbors, Denmark and Sweden, began allowing women submariners in 1988 and 1989, respectively.
In September 1995, Captain Solveig Krey of the Royal Norwegian Navy became a trailblazer when she assumed command of the 485-ton, 24-man KNM Kobben (seal) as the world’s first female submarine skipper. She later went on to command another, larger boat, the 1,150-ton KNM Uredd (fearless).

NEVER underestimate the power of a Sailor who served aboard a submarine.
