Do the Japanese have female sailors...I think I might have seen one. I wonder what their take on that is?
Beautiful ship.
Yes they do. In fact, they have started to have their first women captains. Here's an article from Time magazine about the first two women appointed to command Japanese ships. Mind you, the ships are apparently used mostly for training, but that's still a big step. Apparently the Japanese defense forces have been slower in incorporating woman that the U.S or other western nations, but are actually better than the Japanese private sector. Women are still restricted to largely non-combat roles, but I think that's the rule in a lot of militaries that have female personnel.

Many thanks. [&o] I read the article, and I guess I should have searched the web on it myself.
