In 2010 a major policy change was adopted by the US Navy that allowed female sailors to serve on submarines. Here, handling the helm on the USS Florida is a Petty Officer First Class. Her job is to control the rudder, and the sail planes. The sailor to her left is the outboard watch stander, who he controls the rear planes. The two, acting together, maintain the ordered direction, roll, pitch, depth of the sub as ordered by the Dive Officer of the watch, standing between and behind them.
