<p>Using a random survey of Navy women, an investigation was made into the subjects of sexual harassment and rape.  The purpose was to determine any effect on Navy women and impact on mission accomplishment.  This study includes:  a review of previous military and civilian research; a discussion of models of sexual harassment and Navy policy to date; a summary of the findings of the survey of 322 women; and future recommendations.  The author concludes that sexual harassment and rape are significant problems in the Navy, especially overseas.  Levels of harassment seem to negatively affect reeenlistment intentions.  Secual harassment can be effectively reduced by leaders who proactively enforce Navy policy.  This is demonstrated by the improvement of perceptions in this study compared with those previously reported in 1980.  Rape is not so easily eradicated.  Family advocacy programs, it utilized, could be effective in assisting victims.
