    Weathering the WAVES

    Captain Buckner receives a directive from fleet headquarters about the feasibility of men and women serving together on ships. The base has been chosen as one of the experimental sites. The displeased captain places the incoming WAVES in the equally displeased Sharkey's barracks. Sharkey threatens the men to treat the women as fellow sailors, and to stay away from them. When attempting to lecture the women, Sharkey quickly butts heads with their commander, CPO Gypsy Koch (Beverly Sanders, "Lotsa Luck"). He schemes to make both Chief Koch and the experiment fail.

    Whereas, Season One had mostly weak plots constructed around Don Rickles' insult comedy, Season Two is placing more of an emphasis on plots and other characters.
