Plot

Navigating the tempestuous seas of romantic entanglements, three friends - the aristocratic Whitney Young, the demure Mary Kate Yarbrough, and the fiery Una Yancy - find themselves adrift after a series of unfortunate love affairs. Whitney, having left her fiancé at the altar, seeks a new course, while Mary Kate, jilted on her wedding day, hopes for a fresh start. Una, with her bold Brooklynite spirit, is on a determined quest for a husband. In an unexpected twist, this trio of women, weary of their man troubles, enlist in the WAVES - Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service - plunging headfirst into the rigorous world of the United States Naval Reserve. Their journey takes them through ten grueling weeks of boot camp, testing their mettle and camaraderie. However, the physical challenges and relentless discipline of their naval training prove to be less daunting than the turbulent waters of their love lives. Amidst long marches and seafaring in a cramped boat, they find themselves once again entranced by the siren call of romance, each setting her sights on a sailor to pursue. 'Skirts Ahoy!' (1952) is a vibrant exploration of friendship, courage, and love, set against the backdrop of a military base, weaving an enchanting tale that sails seamlessly between comedy and drama, heartbreak and hope. The movie navigates the complexities of love and life, offering a captivating voyage that viewers will find hard to resist.
