Tailhook convention  

Definition

  • The Tailhook Convention of 1991 involved the U.S. Navy in a bitter controversy over allegations that officers had engaged in numerous acts of excessive drinking and sexual misconduct. The episode cast a shadow not only on the specific individuals involved, but on the Navy's overall culture—especially its treatment of women.
