Pilot resigns

The woman who shook up the US Navy when she blew the whistle on a wild convention has resigned, Reuter reports from Washington. Lieutenant Paula Coughlin, a helicopter pilot at the naval air station in Norfolk, Virginia, was one of 83 women found by the Pentagon to have been sexually assaulted or molested at the 1991 convention of Navy and Marine Corps aviators sponsored by the Tailhook Association in Las Vegas.
