A Royal Navy warship that vanished 118 years ago is in line to benefit from new Government protections. ⚓ HMS Tiger - whose discovery is announced today by dive group ProjectXplore - is potentially one of thousands of vulnerable military wreck sites. Under changes proposed by the Armed Forces Bill, sites like these would be automatically safeguarded from the moment they are found. 🌊 This would make it an offence to disturb military wreck sites without permission – protecting the final resting places of thousands of sailors and marines. The Bill also includes measures to improve military housing and strengthen the UK’s Strategic Reserve. 🏡 📸 Image credits: Dan McMullen, Joe Colls Burnett, Guy Trees, Dr Steffen G Scholz.
