WAVES Song

The WAVES kept the homefront affairs of the US Navy going while the men were assigned to ships serving around the globe. While the official song of the US Navy men was "Anchors Aweigh", the WAVES official song was sung in counterpoint to the men:

        WAVES of the Navy

    WAVES of the Navy,

    There's a ship sailing down the bay.

    And she won't slip into port again

    Until that Victory Day.

    Carry on for that gallant ship

    And for every hero brave

    Who will find ashore, his man-sized chore

    Was done by a Navy WAVE.
