Women aboard a major combatant: the U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower experience
Abstract
Women are now being assigned aboard U.S. Navy combatant vessels. The author describes his experiences aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier U.S.S. Dwight David Eisenhower during its 6-mo cruise in 1994, the first such cruise with women integrated into the entire crew. Both medically and operationally, the deployment was an unqualified success, and the ship and its crew fulfilled the directives of the National Command Authority with distinction.
