Sec. 7723. Stay of proceedings for preserving evidence after 
        stay of suit
        
    If, at the time of certification under section 7722 of this title, 
or at any time before the termination of the stay based on the 
certificate, the Secretary of the Navy files with the court an 
additional certificate to the effect that the issue of any process to 
preserve evidence or the completion of action on process previously 
issued would tend to endanger the security of the United States or of 
any of its naval or military operations in the war, or would tend to 
interfere with those operations, then all proceedings for the taking or 
preserving of evidence to be used by either party in the trial shall be 
stayed.
