I hope that they will be able to protect the wrecks from trophy hunters

At a depth of over 8,000 feet, it'll be hard for casual trophy hunters to bother the wrecks.

Another ship that recently was found is HMS Hunter.
The destroyer was lost in the battle of Narvik.

Narvik is quite a nice little place. There are still some hulks from WWII in the harbour which are visible but I can't remember what ships.
