Someone must know how this happened as a salvage operation like this could hardly go unnoticed.

Quote : In 1986 the UK Parliament passed the Protection of Military Remains Act to protect such wrecks, mainly as a result of divers disturbing such war graves.

According to International Law, the wrecks of ships which sank in international waters are the property of its country of origin.

The status of most of these wrecks in the international waters is not protected.
