Reading this warning

DNC (Digital Nautical Chart)
A reference to one of the regions of NGA's Digital Nautical Chart, used to tell the reader which charts a warning affects.
Derelict
An abandoned vessel still afloat and drifting, with no one on board.
Semi-submerged
Floating at or just below the surface, so hard to see by eye or radar.
Adrift
Loose and moving with wind and current — a vessel, container, buoy, log or anything else no longer secured.
Position (degrees and minutes)
How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
Date-time group (DTG)
A compact UTC timestamp — day, hour and minute followed by Z — such as 201500Z for the 20th at 15:00 UTC.
RCC / JRCC (Rescue Coordination Centre)
The centre that organises search and rescue in its region; warnings ask ships to send their reports there.
CANCEL THIS MSG
The warning's own expiry: a line telling the reader when the message cancels itself.
