[edit] Other powers?

It would be helpful to give some geopolitical context on why these particular countries were making a deal. What of Germany, Russia, Spain, China ect.? Skomorokh 16:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] On "Circumvention"

Since the only difference between "light" cruisers and "heavy" crtuisers was their armament, main guns of 6-inches or less being "light" as against 6.1-inches to 8-inches being "heavy" the claim that building light cruisers with large numbers of guns approaching 10,000 tons was a "circumvention" of the treaty is unsupportable. For a real attempt at circumvention consider the Japanese Nachi Class heavy cruisers, that displaced some 3,000 tons over the 10,000 ton limit, or the Mogami Class, designed to be converted from carrying 15 6-inch guns to carrying ten 8-inchers.--Al-Nofi (talk) 14:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
