Looks like you're correct. Nothing to be worried about, then.

its a pod that allows the sub to stay underwater and release Navy Seals for covert operations and also pick them up, it functions basically the same as a torpedo launch tube, before they launch they flood the tube with water to equalize the pressure and when they re-enter the tube its filled with water so the hatch can be opened then they pressurize it forcing the water out then the Seals can open the main hatch going into the sub completing there mission in silently and without a trace. Those Navy Seals are pretty sneaky no doubt they are the most deadly human weapon on this planet, would hate to be on there hit list.

I have a good friend of mine that is a Navy Seal and when we were kids growing up he was always kind of nerdy in school getting picked on by others he said that helped fuel his fire and wanting to become a highly trained badass. People don't pick on him anymore that much I know for a fact. People can be so cruel to others that are different than themselves, I'm glad he used this to motivate himself to be something that most people thought he could never be.

It is obviously the womens room!

Complete with extra amenities.

Taken from article:

"Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has notified Congress of plans to allow women to serve aboard submarines, a Defense Department official said Tuesday".

It said it's starting with SSBNs. I toured the USS Michigan once, it did not feel like a submarine as I know them, it felt spacious like a surface ship. The enlisted crew had better quarters than most of the officers of an SSN. I can't see this working on the smaller boats.

I'm kinda curious how that is going to work...Gonna have to ask my bro, he's a non-com on a trident boat, but then again with all that he tells me, i might be better off asking a rock. Serving on a fast-attack myself, I don't see how implementing co-ed conditions on the smaller boat would work either. Not saying I'm against anything like this happening, just never thought I would see them initiate something like this. Good luck to all those gal's out there that wanna be part of the silent service. 30 days without sunlight and living in a tube that doesn't enjoy being close to the surface on sea state 4 or 5 conditions is not the life for everyone.
