<HTML>Hi MPC,
this may be a somewhat stupid question, but how does a wrecked or sunk ship become a War Grave? There\\\'ll have to be bodies still on it, I suppose - and do the government of the original owner country then just declare it a war grave and off limits for everybody, or are there certain rules and procedures for a wreck to be officially recognized as a War Grave by other nations?
Thanks in advance, yours
