There is no such thing as a safe submarine - there is a specific reason that submarine duty is strictly volunteer, and that submariners get hazardous duty pay, and it's due to the inherent increased dangers of submarine life, be it aboard a nuclear or diesel-electric submarine.
Without getting into classified specifics, there are significant increased health risks for women aboard boats as there are men, but the Navy doesn't specify those risks until the candidate has volunteered (and even then they don't say anything). Assuming you make it through the increased screening requirements (both psychological and physical), even then only about 5% of Navy volunteers are accepted as being qualified for submarine duty. Of that percentage, the average of those with health problems who serve aboard submarines is much higher than that of the regular Navy.
