The most dangerous shipwreck of all time

Why does the Navy STILL guard this US WWII shipwreck 24/7? The SS Richard Montgomery is an American liberty ship that served in the second world war.

Today, over 80 years later, Britatin's coastguard and Navy are STILL guarding her 24/7, because they fear that time is running out to prevent her causing billions of dollars of damage to London.
