The HMS Hood IS a war grave and thus should be protected from salvage. Although I read a couple of days ago that “rogue” salvagers are plundering the ships that were sunk during the Battle of Jutland, and are considered as war graves, thus NOT to be disturbed.

Somewhat side topic but are ocean/ship KIAs given a tombstone somewhere? Have yet to find the answer although several have ventured; No.
