The second naval officer came to help his colleague but was also attacked.
One sustained injuries to his eyes, face and legs.
The police say the suspect appeared in the Honiara Magistrates Court on Tuesday and was charged with unlawful wounding and assault.
He was remanded in custody in Honiara.
The naval officers were part of a delegation attending the 75th anniversary event commemorating the Battle of Guadalcanal.
