[edit] Is this correct?
I moved the following paragraph here because I could not verify it. Sources I've seen indicate that the WAVES were disbanded after WWII:
The WAVES continued to serve through the Vietnam War. WAVES officer candidates were trained for 16 weeks at the Newport, Rhode Island Naval Base. Enlisted WAVES were trained at Bainbridge, Maryland. During the 1970's consideration was given to allowing WAVES to serve aboard ships. Ultimately, LT Valerie Zeller, USNR, was assigned to two weeks reserve duty aboard the USS Sanctuary in 1975. A few years later, the WAVES were disbanded and women were allowed to serve on ships and be assigned to all Navy specialties.
