You know how amusement park rides usually have minimum and maximum heights for rides?

It's the same damn concept. All vehicles are standardized. This includes shit like airplanes and submarines. That's why you can't have manlets (like TC) or Giants in the military.


The military accomodates as needed, according to what laws are in place and the fundings that are made available. Here is an example, regarding the redesign for submarines that women will serve aboard:

"That means overhead valves will be placed lower and made easier to turn, and steps will be installed allowing shorter people to reach triple-high bunks and the top of stacked laundry machines, the Associated Press reports.

Other examples are seats that can be moved closer to instrument displays and emergency air masks that attach at the side of passageways, instead of overhead.

Designers are also adding more bathrooms and more doors to create separate sleeping areas for men and women"
