go to sea

HALIFAX (UPC) - Women
are going to sea for the first
time in Canadian naval
history, and the captain of
the HMCS Cormorant will
be keeping a close watch to
see what effect their
presence has on shipboard
morale.

“Throughout their two
year tour of duty, I have
been instructed to write
quarterly reports on any
changes in morale or
operational - effectiveness,”

said ship's captain Lt. Cmdr.
Gil Morrison.

But he said he does not
expect any disciplinary
problems to arise from the
addition of the eight women
who took up active duty
Thursday. The women will
serve as administrative
clerk, petty officer and
cooks.

“The women will get no
special consideration and I
believe they want it that
way,” Morrison said.

“As far as relationships
between male and female
crew, common sense will

prevail. They know that.

outward romances or
emotional displays aboard
the ship will not be
tolerated.”

The eight female sailors
were equally optimistic they
can bring the navy into the
modern era without any
commotion.

“Tm hoping our presence
will improve morale, if it
changes at all,” said Sub.-Lt.
Louise Fish of Toronto, the
ship's Supply Officer and the
only officer among the eight.

“For the navy, allowing us
to serve on board will mean
a wider pool of personnel to
select from when vacancies
occur. And for us we have
the option now of a com-
pletely different en-
vironment.”

The captain said the crew
has been briefed on the
transition for more than a
year and “after the initial
shock” they have accepted
the change.

HMCS Cormorant’s first
trip out of Halifax begins
April 22 for a week of diving
exercises on the Scotian
shelf.

to halt the mailings — but
continued to get them.
