I would think that any relic on foreign soil would require a bill of sale or a release of ownership statement from the country you are exporting the artifact from as part of their export requirements. The US Navy can claim ownership for anything they want, but would they challenge the authority of (and diplomatic relationship with) a friendly foreign country?
Most countries require a title or some other form of documentation approved by that country prior to exporting major items like aircraft and automobiles. If that foreign country says you own it, would it ever be challenged in a practical sense?
