The U.S. Navy's counterpart to the Army's Women's Army Corps (WAC), was the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). Their official name was the U.S. Naval Reserve (Women's Reserve) but the nickname "WAVES" endured, even to this day.
The WAVES were established just 2 months after the WAC, by Congress, at the urging of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who pushed for a women's division in the Navy.
