The culture of the U.S. Navy changed forever as the result of the scandal surrounding the 35^th Annual Tailhook Association Symposium at the Las Vegas Hilton—a disgrace that involved the bad decisions of those who assaulted women at the 1991 symposium and of those engaged in the resulting investigations conducted by the Department of the Navy, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense, and the Armed Services Committee. Unintended consequences abounded: The small number of men guilty of assaulting women at the symposium escaped criminal prosecution; none of the accused officers was convicted at court-martial; and the careers of many innocents ended when they were either denied promotion or forced into premature retirement.
