As I read between the lines, this is a rush job because in 2018 or earlier these will come under preservation orders, which will prevent amateur divers from removing items. So, from then on it will only be professional historians, and then only maybe, who are allowed to dive on these.
So, while there is a lot of talk about doing right by the crews, what it actually is, is a gold rush before the deadline falls.
<edit>
These are WW1 subs, not WW2, this is nothing to do with operation Deadlight.
