DEFENCE
This Order designates various vessels as vessels to which the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 (“the Act”) applies: see article 2. This means that the places containing the remains of those vessels are protected places within the meaning of the Act. Subject to sections 2(5) and (6) and 3 of the Act, a person who, believing or having reasonable grounds for suspecting that a place comprises the remains of a vessel, interferes with remains by virtue of which that place is a protected place, commits an offence unless he has a licence: see sections 2 and 4 of the Act. Section 2 creates a number of other offences in relation to protected places as well.
