Escort personnel will be armed. The exclusion zone shall have a 250m radius around the vessel, or to the limits of navigable water, whichever is closer.
4. When the zone is activated all vessels underway, except those involved in the escort or specifically authorised by the escort commander, are to remain clear of the exclusion zone.
5. Vessels which enter the exclusion zone will, after being warned by at least two of the following methods; radio, flashing light, and voice, be deemed to have the intention of committing a hostile act against the warship being escorted
LNTM 40/05 11/08/05
... clearly applies to HMS Victory as well as she is a commissioned warship. Presumably checking that her armament is still in working order in case anyone gets too close!

What, a full three-deck broadside? Will the old girl's timbers stand up to it?
