It's All Been Done...It's All Been Done...It's All Been Do-o-ne Before

As my favorite Canadian songsters, Bare Naked Ladies, remind us, sometimes the things we think are fresh and novel, have been done in the past. As with putting humans on the moon, something new to the more recent generations (and until the latest budget cuts, on NASA's menu of "new" explorations) so goes putting women on submarines.

"We've never had women on submarines" you say? PSHAW!

Allow me to refresh your memory with THESE pioneer "Ladies of the Deep":

Jamie Lee Curtis (1997)
Yvonne Wilder (1997)
Melinda Naud (1997)
Bond Gideon (1997)
Lauren Holly (1996)
Dorrie Thomson (1977)
Cat Futch (1975)
Joan O'Brien (1959)
Dina Merrill (1959)
Virginia Gregg (1959)
Madlyn Rhue (1959)
Marion Ross (1959)

The women who will, Congress permitting, one day serve in submarines again, owe these trail-blazers a debt of gratitude.
