During World War
I, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps allowed women to enlist.
More than 12,000 enlisted and about 400 died during the war. In World War II,
a total of 350,000 women served in the U.S. military. More than 60,000 women
served as Army nurses and over 14,000 served as Navy Nurses.

In war times this song was sung very often in the Royal Navy and US States Navy;
“ Eternal_Father,_Strong_to_Save "
Originally a poem, written in 1860 by William Whiting of Winchester.

There is a modern version, with a verse for Women too!
Female Sailors
in service, faith in Thee
renew;
O guide devoted hands of skill
And bless their work within
Thy will;
Inspire their lives that they
may be
Examples fair on land and sea.
Lines 1-4, Merle E.
Strickland, 1972, and adapted by James D. Shannon, 1973.
Lines 5-6, Beatrice M. Truitt,
1948
