Sec. 700.711  Authority over passengers.

    Except as otherwise provided in these regulations or in orders from 
competent authority, all passengers in a ship or aircraft of the naval 
service are subject to the authority of the commanding officer and shall 
conform to the internal regulations and routine of the ship or aircraft. 
The commanding officer of such ship or aircraft shall take no 
disciplinary action against a passenger not in the naval service, other 
than that authorized by law; but he may, when he deems such action to be 
necessary for the safety of the ship or aircraft or of any persons 
embarked, subject a passenger not in the naval service to such restraint 
as the circumstances require until such time as delivery to the proper 
authorities is possible. A report of the matter shall be made to an 
appropriate superior of the passenger.
