	Tailhook Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tailhook Association is a U.S. based, fraternal, non-profit organization, supporting the interests of seabased aviation, with emphasis on aircraft carriers.
		The word tailhook refers to the hook underneath the tail of the aircraft that catches the arresting wire suspended across the flight deck in order to stop the landing plane quickly.
		The issues were never quite settled, and as late as 2002, the Tailhook chairman spoke of "the alleged misconduct that occurred in 1991".

		However, we hold that Conference America is entitled to a new trial on the remaining issues based on the misconduct of one of the jury members.
		Conference America claims to have had no knowledge of the transfer of assets of Old TCN to New TCN, of the dissolution of Old TCN, or of the creation of New TCN.
		Conference America contends that even if the 1997 agreement was properly assigned to New TCN, Conference America is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law as to the two counts in New TCN's counterclaim that went to the jury: breach of contract and repudiation of contract.

		The Tailhook Association, therefore, was seen by the majority of its members and by those outside of the Association as a government-sanctioned organization.
		Tailhook '91 was seen as a celebration of the U.S. "liberation" of Kuwait and defeat of Iraqi forces earlier that year.
		In addition, by October 1993 Tailhook had lost 80 percent of its corporate sponsors, membership had dropped 15 percent and insurance premiums had skyrocketed, primarily because of the 12 lawsuits filed by women who claim they were sexually assaulted at Tailhook '91.

		When you understand that the entire Tailhook Scandal was created to get rid of the high ranking naval officers that were running Faction 2, you begin to understand why it happened.
		To fully understand Tailhookers, you have to put your normal mind on a shelf, suspend all judgement and try to see life from their eyes.
		Tailhook was only one piece of a larger plan to demoralize and destroy the military of the United States of America.

		The inquiry was initiated in response to a request from the Secretary of the Navy on June 18, 1992.
		Many attendees viewed the annual conference as a type of "free fire zone" wherein they could act indiscriminately and without fear of censure or retribution in matters of sexual conduct and drunkenness.
		Some of the Navy's most senior officers were knowledgeable as to the excesses practiced at Tailhook 91 and, by their inaction, those officers served to condone and even encourage the type of behavior that occurred there.

		In the midst of the Tailhook controversy, she wrote a provision into a defense bill which repealed the ban on women in combat aviation.
		I know I've talked to pediatricians who said that the interesting thing about Tailhook was, it was the fathers and the grandfathers who pushed the women out there and said, "That's right," you know.
		But the thing that tickled me so much was their thinking that I was the reason that Tailhook could no longer be allowed, as the kind of outrage it was.

		But the case recalls the Tailhook Association's 1991 convention, which created a sex scandal that forced the resignation of the Navy's civilian chief and focused attention on sexual harassment throughout the military.
		Last year the Navy sent several senior representatives to the Tailhook convention as part of a review to determine whether the Navy should restore ties to the organization.
		Navy Secretary Richard Danzig announced in January, "We've concluded that the time is right to restore ties." He said he was convinced that Tailhook's leaders had made a commitment to avoiding trouble of the kind that happened in 1991.

		The 1992 Tailhook Association convention in San Diego, CA was cancelled as the investigation of sexual misconduct by Navy officers at the 1991 convention continued and widened as a result of the disclosure that important documents were omitted from an official inquiry into the assaults.
		The conference was co-sponsored by the National Woman Abuse Prevention Center and focused on sharing information on legislation, developing a federal policy agenda and implementing the Feminist Majority's campaign to achieve gender balance in the police force.
		Conference delegates also voted to endorse the 21st Century party, the creation of which was proposed by NOW's Commission for Responsive Democracy in 1991.

		Just weeks before Tailhook, despite strict prohibitions against lobbying by uniformed personnel, Lieutenant Coughlin was one of several women allowed to lobby for Representative Schroeder's bill to repeal laws exempting women from combat aviation.

	Pentagon Blasts Tailhook Probe, Two Admirals Resign (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-21)
		The Navy conducted a poorly coordinated, half-hearted investigation into sexual assault allegations stemming from the 1991 Tailhook convention, and did so under the direction of an admiral who apparently doubted that women belonged in the military, Pentagon investigators said Thursday in their first major report on the scandal.
		The report, released at a press conference by Acting Navy Secretary Sean O'Keefe, criticized three naval officers and the Navy's second-highest ranking civilian for their roles overseeing an investigation hobbled by bad planning, a narrow focus on lower-level officers and an overweening concern for the Navy's reputation.
		Williams, commander of the naval investigative service and the officer who most directly oversaw the investigation, repeatedly expressed desire to end the probe and on one occasion, told a Navy civilian that he did not believe women belong in military service, according to the report.

		The conference focused on four distinct subject areas: sexual harassment within the context of the military experience, the educational setting, and at the workplace, as well as the more amorphous area of same-sex sexual harassment.
		This, combined with media coverage of well-known incidents such as Tailhook and the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas imbroglio, have raised the level of social awareness of the germaneness and prevalence of sexual harassment in today's society.
		Journal is deeply grateful to all of the conference participants for their contributions to the ongoing effort to promote new dialogues that will engender broader understanding of the complexities of this issue.

		The association states that their general purpose is engaging in a continuing series of activities, assemblies, conferences, symposiums, and meetings designed to foster, encourage, support, develop, study, and educate interested persons in the aircraft carrier, carrier aircraft, carrier pilots and carrier aircrew.

		The Corps decided there was not enough evidence to proceed with a court-martial against the captain and that Coughlin misidentified her assailant.
		Ultimately the careers of fourteen admirals and almost 300 naval aviators were scuttled or damaged by Tailhook.
