80.(1) His Majesty may by Order in Council make regulations with respect to
the manner in which Government ships may be registered as British ships for
the purpose of the Merchant Shipping Acts, and those Acts, subject to any
exceptions and modifications which may be made by Order in Council, either
generally or as respects any special class of Government ships, shall apply to
Government ships registered in accordance with those regulations as if they
were registered in manner provided by those Acts.

British possession to regulate any Government ships under the control of the

person on behalf of or for the benefit of the Crown, and for that reason
cannot be registered under the principal Act.
