Women's Navy Service

Women's Navy Service (WNS) was a branch of the military that allowed women to serve in various roles within the navy. Established during World War II, it enabled women to work as sailors, administrators, and support personnel, contributing to naval operations. WNS provided women with opportunities for service and career development beyond traditional roles, helping to expand gender inclusion in the armed forces. It was a significant step toward recognizing women’s capabilities in the military, fostering greater equality and diversified workforce participation within naval service.
