Navy prepares submarines for 1st female officers

Legrand is among a small group of women police officers who are forming the sites included in Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite submarine force earlier this year. Although the Navy says it is not to treat them differently from their male counterparts, officials have worked to prepare the submarine crews - and the wives of sailors - one of the most dramatic changes in the history of 111 years in the Navy "silent service."

The first class of 24 women will be divided into four submarines, where they will outnumber men by a ratio of about 1 and 25. Non-commissioned members, who represent about 90 percent of the crew of a submarine 160 that are not open to women, although the Navy is studying changes to create separate bunks for men and women.
