A grave is a designated burial site for a body. They aren't graves they are just places where people happened to die.

I am writing this right now in literally the exact spot where thousands died during the Battle of Brooklyn in the Revolutionary War.

We subsequently moved on, they built Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO and a rather notable bridge here. It happens.

Sure. But from what I understand, sunken military vessels are often designated as graves, since it's too difficult to retrieve the bodies from it.

Both the US and UK seem to protect sunken military vessels for this reason.
