Do all US aircraft carriers have to carry a large number of female soldiers? What role do they play

There is a strange phenomenon in the US Navy, that is, every US aircraft carrier must be equipped with a certain number of female soldiers, otherwise it will not be allowed to go to sea.

Why does the US Navy have such a weird rule? Do these female soldiers have any special role on the aircraft carrier?

There is an unwritten rule in the U.S. aircraft carrier navy that each aircraft carrier must be equipped with a certain number of female soldiers before going to sea.

Generally speaking, more than 10% of the US troops stationed on US aircraft carriers must be female, but the specific number will vary with the size and mission of the aircraft carrier.

However, normally there are about 500 to 600 female soldiers on an aircraft carrier.

Lieutenant Colonel Corey Buck, spokesman for the U.S. Pacific Fleet Submarine Force, said that the United States is currently planning to expand the number of female soldiers on submarines, warships and aircraft carriers to at least 20%.

There are also very high requirements for recruiting female soldiers. They must have decent appearance, good physical and psychological conditions, and preferably have some professional skills.

Moreover, female soldiers who join the aircraft carrier will be granted American citizenship, which means that no matter which country they were from before, they will become American citizens in the future.

So, what is so special about female soldiers on US aircraft carriers? Why is it so important to emphasize the need to increase the number of female soldiers?

In fact, the answer is very simple. This is because although women seem to be a disadvantaged group, they are actually better than men in some aspects.

For example, women have strong thinking ability, are very logical, meticulous, and have strong stress resistance, so women are more suitable for positions such as deck dispatching that require thinking and high pressure.

Moreover, women are more careful and can consider all aspects, so they can also engage in jobs such as maintenance and repair of fighter jets on aircraft carriers.

Compared to some men who are carefree, this is not suitable.

In addition, female soldiers are more suitable to serve as medical soldiers, psychologists, etc. on aircraft carriers.

After all, the duration of each aircraft carrier's mission at sea is different. The shortest is one month, and the longest is even half a year. Most of the crew members on the aircraft carrier have to spend their time on the aircraft carrier, which is bound to feel boring. Over time, they may develop depression or other mental illnesses, and in severe cases, they may even commit suicide.

So at this time, female soldiers played a role. Most of them had received professional training and were able to calm the crew members' minds and alleviate the symptoms.

In fact, this is also a phenomenon of social progress. After all, 50 years ago, female soldiers could only serve as medical soldiers on aircraft carriers, or they could only do odd jobs such as washing dishes.

But now more and more female soldiers can demonstrate their strength on aircraft carriers, and some have even surpassed male soldiers.

Since the selection system of the US military is very strict, especially for the heads of various departments, it is impossible to become one without a certain level of skills and connections.

And they also need to have strong leadership skills, so such people are generally men.

But the famous American submarine Mississippi has a female person in charge who is specifically in charge of the navigation operations department.

In addition, the commander of the famous USS Lincoln aircraft carrier is now a female soldier named Amy Bauernschmidt, who is a student in the first graduating class in the United States that allows women to serve on combat ships and aircraft.

What's more impressive is that she is a master's student at the United States Naval War College. She was designated as a naval pilot in 1996 and has 3,000 hours of flying time.

You know, the average flight time of US Navy pilots is only 81.6 hours per year. Few people can have such a long flight time, not to mention that she is a female soldier.

It has to be said that she is a role model for American female soldiers.

In fact, female soldiers have another role on aircraft carriers, which is the legendary opposite-sex effect.

What this means is that many people will happily complete their work in front of the opposite sex, even if it is work they don’t like, and they can complete it quickly.

Some will even actively express themselves to make themselves more efficient at work. This is the so-called combination of men and women, which makes work less tiring.

American scientists have also discovered an interesting phenomenon: when astronauts are performing missions in space, if all of them are men, there is a 60.6% chance that they will experience adverse symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, and nausea.

But if there are women involved, even just one, the adverse symptoms of these male astronauts will basically disappear, and their work efficiency will increase.

However, many people also expressed concerns that if so many female crew members were to stay with men, would there be any problems? Would there be any confusion in the relationship between men and women?

In fact, this is possible. After all, it is human nature to develop feelings for the opposite sex. However, the U.S. Navy has many regulations to prevent this situation.

For example, whether you are married or single, you cannot develop any relationships on board a warship and can only focus on your work.

Up to now, this regulation has been revised to prohibit the development of male-female relationships between superiors and subordinates. If there are crew members in a relationship, they must report to their superiors and sign a series of documents to ensure that their relationship will not affect their work or the work of others.

In addition, in order to care for female soldiers, the US Navy also provides them with some special care, subsidies and policy support, etc.

In addition to the United States, many countries are now adding female soldiers to their aircraft carriers, following the US example.

The same is true in our country. Our Shandong and Liaoning aircraft carriers are equipped with a large number of female soldiers, each of whom is heroic and is in no way inferior to male soldiers.

Therefore, women in today's era are no longer the same as before. They can stand on their own and become leaders in a field.

The female soldiers on aircraft carriers are a representative example.

However, some people still believe that female soldiers should not serve on aircraft carriers and warships because their physical strength is simply not as good as that of men.

But I believe that in the near future, this prejudice can be eliminated. There are things that women are good at and things that men are good at, and division of labor and cooperation are the most reasonable.
