I can just imagine the drama. I know from experience in STEM circles at uni, the gender imbalance caused a lot of drama. The relatively few girls would basically be kingmakers, crowning the couple of guys who were handsome enough. That caused a lot of drama because as you can imagine, each girl had a whole entourage of guys all of which were secretly in love with her. We were of the exact same age as the people serving on this sub.

I can just imagine that drama but 200 feet under the sea.

I didn't mention sexual assault. If anything we were the most mild mannered of all the faculties. The more extroverted faculties had more issues along those lines. But there was a lot of drama and resentment that originated from that gender imbalance and the social dynamics that it evoked. And tbh, I find it hard to believe that it would be different anywhere else if you have the same gender imbalance issues.
