Navy to investigate secret filming of female officers on submarine

The U.S. Navy is investigating the secret filming of female officers aboard a submarine.

At least three women officers were taped for a year while showering and changing clothes in unisex bathrooms, CNN reports. The footage may have also been distributed to other crew members, according to the Navy's incident report. The alleged perpetrators were removed from the ship, pending investigation results.

"Incidents that violate the trust of our sailors go against every core value we hold sacred in our naval service," Navy Vice Adm. M.J. Connor wrote. "We go to war together with the confidence that we can rely on each other in ALL circumstances, and incidents of sailors victimizing other sailors represent an extreme breach of that trust!"
