(1)Where, on the trial of any person by court-martial, it appears to the court—
(a)that the accused is by reason of insanity unfit to stand his trial; or
(b)that the accused did the act or made the omission charged, but was insane at the time when the act was done or the omission made so as not to be responsible according to law for his actions,
the court shall so find, and shall order him to be kept in custody until effect is given to the directions of the Admiralty.
(2)In the case of any such finding, the Admiralty may give orders for the safe custody of the accused during Her Majesty's pleasure in such place and manner as they think fit.
