EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from May 1947, a group of Women's Royal Naval Service (WREN) members are deeply engrossed in their work at the Royal Naval Tactical School in Greenwich, London. The room is filled with the hum of focused conversation and the soft clicking of pencils on charts as the women plot the movements of opposed fleets on a large, transparent screen. The tactical school, located in the historic heart of the Royal Navy's maritime empire, was a crucial training ground for WRENs during the post-war period. Here, they honed their skills in navigation, communication, and tactical analysis, preparing them for roles on board ships and submarines. The transparent screen, a technological innovation of the time, allowed the WRENs to visualize complex naval maneuvers and strategize potential responses to various scenarios. Their meticulous work was essential to the success of naval operations and the safety of British forces at sea. The image captures a moment of intense concentration and collaboration, as the women work together to analyze data and anticipate the actions of their opponents. Their determination and focus are palpable, reflecting the vital role of women in the Royal Naval Service during a time of significant change and rebuilding in the aftermath of World War II. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the Royal Naval Tactical School and the crucial contributions of the Women's Royal Naval Service.
