It is difficult to imagine what life was like in America in 1942: Walking was still the primary means of transportation, only a little more than half of residences had any indoor plumbing, male life expectancy was 6o years old and females 68 years old, and the rationing of every resource, including food, metal and energy sources, was the norm. President Franklin Roosevelt signed Public Law 689, July 30, 1942, creating the Women’s Naval Reserve commonly known as Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES). “With the war imminent, members of Congress and the services started to prepare for what was likely to happen,” said Regina T. Akers (PhD), a historian for Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) whose doctoral thesis was on the impact of the WAVES. “It had become evident to the War Department (who preceded the Department of Defense) that they would not have enough people to do all the jobs that might be required.” Though the Army was the first to accept women into their ranks, Akers saw this as an advantage. The Navy was able to learn from the Army’s experiences. “The secretary of the Navy put his foot down and said, ‘Look, we are not going to do what the Army did. We are not going to have these women as an given the charge of the female Sailors and had integrated training, which was auxiliary. They are going to have access and unlike World War I where they were unheard of before then,” Akers said. to information and we want to be able to relegated to nurses or yeomen (a clerical She explained that the changes were due use them in any way we can,” explained job), the women could now choose a to Joy Bright Hancock, a former WWI Akers.

Male Sailors started to resent “One of the best compliments, McAfee having a permanent place for these the impact the females hard work had on often remarked, was the repeated demand women. Why?

    THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR AND RENAMED TANKERS ~ Lawrence Brennan, (US Navy Ret.) SHIP COVERS RELATING TO THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR & REFLAGGED KUWAITI TANKERS, 1987-881 “The Kuwaiti fleet reads like a road map of southern New Jersey” By Captain Lawrence B. Brennan, U.S. Navy Retired2 Thirty years ago there was a New Jersey connection to the long-lasting Iran-Iraq War. That eight years of conflict was one of the longest international two-state wars of the 20th century, beginning in September 1980 and effectively concluding in a truce in August 1988. The primary and bloody land war between Iran and Iraq began during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. The Shah had left Iran and that year the USSR invaded Afghanistan. The conflict expanded to sea and involved many neutral nations whose shipping came under attack by the combatants. The parties’ intent was to damage their opponents’ oil exports and revenues and decrease world supplies. Some suggested that Iran and Iraq wanted to draw other states into the conflict. An Iranian source explained the origin of the conflict at sea. The tanker war seemed likely to precipitate a major international incident for two reasons. First, some 70 percent of Japanese, 50 percent of West European, and 7 percent of American oil imports came from the Persian Gulf in the early 1980s. Second, the assault on tankers involved neutral shipping as well as ships of the belligerent states.3 The relatively obscure first phase began in 1981, and the well-publicized second phase began in 1984. New Jersey, half a world away from the Persian (Arabian) gulf, became involved when the United States agreed to escort Kuwait tankers in an effort to support a friendly nation and keep the international waters open.
