In 1973, a bill was passed marking today as National Women’s Equality Day. Today commemorates the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting women the right to vote.

Although women have answered the call and served in our U.S. Navy for approximately 160 years, it wasn’t until 1942 when they were allowed permanent service. We would like to thank all women past, present and future for their service to our Navy and country.
