330-PS-6215 (USN 709026):   Liberty Expires.   A few minutes before the girls’ liberty was up, their sailor escorts returned the WAVES to their ship, USNS George M. Goethals (T-AP-182).    The two young ladies thanked their escorts for a pleasant time.  In a reversal of usual Navy routine, the WAVES reported onboard their ship  (in background) – this time, the boys were “left behind.”   Left to right:  Paluzzi, LaFreniere, Myers and Baker.   Photograph released October 26, 1953.   Master Caption:   Navy Accepts Women Volunteers for Duty on the High Seas.
