When work on the Vulcan is completed next month, the Navy will be able to pipe aboard the first women crew members ever to serve on its ocean-going vessels (other than a transport or hospital ship). The service had been barred by law from so using women until this summer, when a federal district court ruled that sex cannot be used as a criterion to prevent volunteers from serving on combat-related vessels.
