PERTH brothels are increasing staff to contend with the arrival of two US warships carrying more than 5400 sailors. Nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington and guided missile cruiser USS Cowpens docked off Fremantle yesterday.
Prevalent in groups of five or six on the streets of Perth today, some sailors were asking locals: "Where do you go to party?".
Business groups estimate the sailors' arrival will boost the local economy to the tune of $5 million during the ships' five-day stay.
The owner of Perth brothel Langtrees, Beverly Clarke, said today she had put on five extra staff for the weekend, including two from the eastern states.
While there had already been a marginal increase in business, she expected numbers to increase markedly by tonight.
"Two more (US) sailors just walked in," she said while being interviewed this afternoon.
"At the moment I've even got girls from the eastern states here to assist us."
When a similar number of sailors appeared in Perth in 2002, Langtrees was overwhelmed with the demand and was forced to shut its doors.
Then brothel madam Mary-Anne Kenworthy said her staff and workers at other brothels had become exhausted and that she would rather stop business than offer customers an inferior service.

No Medicine For Regret
This vintage public health poster has been restored by us for color, contrast, and clarity. It implores sailors of the time to stay away from “loose” women that could give them venereal disease. Notice the woman standing under the street light, plying her trade, and how anxious the young man is to get over to her. “A Sailor Doesn’t Have to Prove He’s a Man,” the poster says. “Remember, there’s no medicine for regret.”

Go Navy!
A movie in an episode of MASH on Venereal Disease: “Hansel & (Re)Gretel.”
Just don’t forget your wetsuit!
Well the hookers will be facing new incoming missiles from the U.S. Navy:-?
Speking of staffs!!
I dont think this story covers either the inhabitants of Perth or the US Navy with much glory.
So typical. Navy hits port; higher demand increases prices; sailors are out of $$ by day 3; Marines come to town and negotiate prices lower than original - AND get better service from rested personnel!
Semper fi
5400 Sailors!
That’s allot of seamen.
Today, brothels care more about quality than the average corporation!
Calling out the reserves and retiree’s.
??????
I know that was supposed to support the Marines in the old Marine vs. Navy rivalry, but what I got out of that was, Marines like sloppy seconds because it’s cheaper.
Simply regretful.
I wondered where they got the "girls" at the last minute. TDY.
Then brothel madam Mary-Anne Kenworthy said her staff and workers at other brothels had become exhausted and that she would rather stop business than offer customers an inferior service.
Sounds like the Marines have landed.....
Understand NOW is complaining because the women’s section isn’t doing the same.
Must be the ‘new’ times, but back in MY day the HOP would not be shut down for fatigue, the ‘workers’ would just ‘buck it up’ and ‘make hay while the sun shone’. Can’t let a couple of Battle Groups get underway without all being ‘serviced’....
