[edit] Synopsis
The series centered around the women of the Navy (WAVES) circa World War II, who found themselves transferred to an island in the South Pacific to run the motor pool in an otherwise all-male environment.
The series starred Kathleen Nolan, Edward Andrews, Dick Sargent, Sheila James (in her last regular television series role), Lois Roberts, Joan Staley, George Furth, Arnold Stang and Jimmy Boyd (whose character was erroneously assigned to the unit based on his having a normally-female first name, Marion). The series ran for just a single season.
