Girls Ahoy

Girls Ahoy, manufactured by Victory Games between 1942 and 1947, is a flipperless electro-mechanical conversion-kit pinball machine from the World War II era. A conversion of Gottlieb's 1941 'Sea Hawk,' it was first advertised in Victory Games' November 1944 Billboard ad and remained listed through the company's final ad in April 1947.

As a flipperless EM machine, Girls Ahoy predates the invention of the pinball flipper (introduced in 1947), so gameplay relied on skillful plunging and tilting rather than flipper control, in keeping with pinball design of the early-to-mid 1940s. Produced during wartime, its design likely reflects the material constraints manufacturers faced during that period.

Its unusual theme, centered on women and girls, sets it apart from more common subjects of the era. Very little additional information exists about Girls Ahoy beyond its production and conversion-kit history, making it a notable but obscure piece of pinball's wartime years.
