By 2020, the Navy plans to have women make up 20 percent
of the enlisted crew on seven of the 18 Ohio-class submarines, according to the
Navy’s latest integration
plan. The plan also calls for enlisted women to begin serving on attack
submarines after 2020, when the Block IV Virginia-class submarines begin
entering the service.

This film was completed shortly after the end of the War
and contains rare footage on US submarine operations you won't find anywhere
else.
There is a cameo appearance by Japanese Fleet Admiral
Nagano who discusses (in English) the effect of US sub operations on the
ability of the Japanese to make war. That because the "pig boats"
inflicted military and transport losses on the enemy that were far beyond their
own tiny numbers.
