Enlisted Women at Sea: A Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

Repeal of the combat exclusion law allows increased opportunities for enlisted women in the United States Navy, resulting in increased concern for gender issues. This work identifies five gender issues and estimates future impact on fleet readiness. The history of women's opportunities onboard Navy ships is initially reviewed in order to determine the magnitude of projected expansions. Estimates of the percentage of Navy women who will be recruited in the future, distributions among occupational specialties, and trends in retention of women versus men determine the projected growth in women's presence. These estimates and previous studies are used to postulate future impacts of pregnancy, single parenthood, physiology, sexual harassment and fraternization. U.S. Navy women, Enlisted, Gender issues, Ships, U.S. Coast Guard.
