The officer could not be identified under regulations in effect.
Attempts are being made to identify other officers, the report said.
The officers involved in the incident were not immediately identified.
The military is by nature a conservative organization, but for many years, a majority of officers identified themselves as independent.
The three officers are soon identified and thrown off the ship.
Speaking of the seven officers identified so far, one senior police official said, "These were the only ones we could catch."
