<HTML>Ken Dunn is correct and Kurt is wrong when it comes to abandonment of government ships under US and international law. I am a maritime lawyer who specializes in this field. A government ship is abandoned only if and when that government says it is. The US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit recently upheld that rule, in a case involving two Spanish frigates off Virginia: \"Galga,\" wrecked in 1750, and \"Juno,\" sunk in 1802. The Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 does not apply to government ships. Virginia had no title to the wrecks, and could not license a private salvage company to excavate them without Spain\'s permission.
