Great picture of the women! I love how some of the male officer's behind the women have half-hearted salutes. :lol:

 

It is interesting to me that the WAVES were included in the commissioning. I would love to know the story behind the photograph.

They are not WAVES, they are Navy Nurses.

I had tunnel vision on the salutes and missed the uniforms. :)

 

USS Consolation was a hospital ship which explains the Navy nurses.
