Actually they do not deem the aircraft as such.

From Flypast mags link

It's still a war grave no matter how far the debris field is scattered, and as such I concur with others that they should not be touched.

I spoke with the US Navy History & Heritage Command and they do not consider the aircraft found as war graves, only the ship.
