As the 65th Secretary, appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1981, Lehman launched the idea of building a "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/600-ship_Navy" title="600-ship Navy" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">600-ship Navy</a>". He became Secretary of the Navy at 38, a young age that he was conscious of in his dealing with Admirals. He was unique in still serving as a commander in the Naval Reserve while being Secretary of the Navy. He developed a strategic concept to counter the threat of Soviet incursion into Western Europe known as the "Lehman Doctrine." The plan called for a military response to any Russian invasion in Europe by attacking and invading the Soviet Far East along the Pacific, a much less defended front. Forces would sever the trans Siberian railroad and fight westward toward Moscow.

According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedrick_Smith" title="Hedrick Smith" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Hedrick Smith</a>, in his book The Power Game, Lehman, lost a fight at the Pentagon with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Deputy_Secretary_of_Defense" title="United States Deputy Secretary of Defense" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Deputy Secretary of Defense</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Thayer" title="Paul Thayer" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Paul Thayer</a> over lowering the number of future aircraft carriers planned. He immediately went to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House" title="White House" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">White House</a> where they were unaware of Thayer's decision, and obtained a press release declaring President Reagan had named two of the ships <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Abraham_Lincoln(CVN-72)" title="USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_George_Washington(CVN-73)" title="USS George Washington (CVN-73)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">USS George Washington (CVN-73)</a>, thereby implying that Reagan had endorsed the "600 ship fleet." Lehman was important in the forced retirement of Admiral <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyman_G.Rickover" title="Hyman G. Rickover" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Hyman G. Rickover</a>. Lehman resigned in 1987. He was subsequently promoted to the rank of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain(U.S.Navy)" title="Captain (U.S. Navy)" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">captain</a> in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.Naval_Reserve" title="U.S. Naval Reserve" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">U.S. Naval Reserve</a> in 1989, later retiring from the U.S. Navy as a reserve officer in that rank after 30 years of service.

After his work in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Commission" title="9/11 Commission" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">9/11 Commission</a> in 2002, there was increased speculation that Lehman might be named to a chief security post within the Bush Administration. Positions suggested included <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_Central_Intelligence" title="Director of Central Intelligence" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Director of Central Intelligence</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_National_Intelligence" title="Director of National Intelligence" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Director of National Intelligence</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_of_Defense" title="Secretary of Defense" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Secretary of Defense</a> (when <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Rumsfeld" title="Donald Rumsfeld" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Donald Rumsfeld</a>stepped down). None of this speculation has proved accurate.

He currently serves as Chairman of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Grace_Foundation-USA" title="Princess Grace Foundation-USA" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Princess Grace Foundation-USA</a> and as a director of the OpSail Foundation.
