Since I went into the US Navy in 1965 and up to today, they have taken part in naval exercises with our ship and planes both in the far east and off the coast of San Diego. Their ships are immaculate and they have a very rigid advancement structure for officers and enlisted men. It may have changed but in 1986, the last time I was on one of their ships they did not allow women in the crew! As on chief Petty Officer told me, they were to stay home and be in the Sake bars!!!!
