  Second London Naval Treaty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second London Naval Disarmament Conference opened in London, the United Kingdom, on December 9, 1935.
The conference was intended to limit the growth in naval armaments until its expiry in 1942.
Two classes of "Treaty" Battleships were built by the United States: the North Carolina class and the South Dakota class (the "SoDaks" were designed with and protected against 16-inch guns; the North Carolinas were gunned with 16-inch weapons after Japan refused to accept the Treaty but their protection against those weapons was somewhat substandard).

The term "Treaty Cruisers" refers to the cruisers built under the treaty restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1921 and the London Naval Treaty of 1930.
The maximum size gun for a cruiser under the Washington Treaty was 8 inches and under the London Treaty 6 inches.

One is that two of the Washington Treaty powers, Japan and Italy, have not yet signed it; the other is that this treaty does not provide for any reduction in total tonnage or for a continuance of the principle of quantitative limitation established by the two previous treaties.
The facts are, however, that it was not possible to secure agreement to that effect because all of the naval powers represented at the Conference, with the exception of Great Britain and the United States, refused to enter into a new treaty which continued the limitations and the ratios established by the present treaties.
While the new naval treaty is less rigid and less far-reaching than the previous treaties, it has many advantages, and its lack of rigidity may well be one of them.

 Heavy cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
The Washington Naval Treaty of 1921 restricted cruisers to 10,000 tons displacement and 8-inch (203 mm) guns.
As a result of the treaties limits on battleships, major naval powers started to build cruisers, usually armed with eight or ten 8 inch (203 mm) guns.
In 1930 the London Naval Treaty split the definition of a cruiser into Heavy Cruiser with guns in excess of 6.1 inch (155 mm) and Light Cruiser with smaller caliber guns (the 10,000 tons limit applied to both).

 TREATY BATTLESHIPS
The 1922 Treaty was replaced by the subsequent London Naval Treaties of 1930 and 1936.
As we have seen, the London Treaty of 1936, which was being negotiated as the North Carolinas were being designed, called for 14in guns and 35,000t, but had escalator clauses to allow 16in guns and 45,000t if a nonsignatory did not abide by the spirit of the treaty.
All of the treaty battleships were heavily compromised to a greater or lessor extent by the need to at least nominally conform to the limitations of the various international naval arms limitation treaties.

 KBismarck.com - Bismarck Design
The Treaty of Versailles of 1919, stated in its Article 181 that the German naval forces in commission could not exceed six battleships, six light cruisers, twelve destroyers and twelve torpedo boats, while Article 190 limited the displacement of capital ships to 10,000 tons.
Under the terms of this treaty, the five major naval powers agreed to limit the standard displacement of their capital ships to 35,000 tons (35,560 metric tons), and the calibre of their heavy guns to 16 inches (40.6cm).
The London Naval Conference of January-April 1930 was intended to review the Washington Naval Treaty, but France and Italy refused to ratify it because of the low battleship tonnage ratios they were assigned.

This is something of a myth, as a year by year and class by class comparison shows that the destroyers built by these two nations prior to 1943 were quite comparable in size.
By the terms of the London Naval Limitation Treaty of 1930, the size of destroyers was determined by their "standard displacement," which was calculated by a set of treaty-defined measurements.
The London Naval Treaty of 1936 altered the displacement restrictions by combining small cruisers and destroyers into a single "light surface warships" category defined by the following phrase: "Vessels which do not carry a gun with a calibre exceeding 6.1 in.

 Bismarck & Tirpitz - Miscellaneous - Naval Treaties - Born of the Second London Naval Treaty
D.C. Since this treaty and its two successors seem to have caused misunderstandings and accusations of violation of treaty limits in naval history ever since, I think it would be relevant to re-assert their limitations on capital ships.
As the time for re-negotiating the limitations of the First London Treaty was drawing nearer, it was becoming obvious to most naval experts that a main armament of 16" guns on a 35.000 t standard displacement had become obsolete.
Whether or not international disarmament treaties are automatically terminated in case of war between two of the co-signatories and/or outside powers, and whether any such treaty is subsequently to be considered null and void between all co-signatories, is a matter for legal experts to discuss.

 3-17 London Naval Conference | Modern Japan in archives
The treaty negotiations had focused on the extent of naval disarmament by the negotiating powers (Britain, America, Japan, France and Italy), with restrictions to be placed on the aggregate tonnage of auxiliary ships (cruisers, destroyers, submarines, etc.).
That led to the Navy's claim that the signing of the London Naval Treaty in fact violated the Emperor's prerogative of supreme command, as it overrode the objections of his Chief of Staff.
The Privy Council President, at the time of the Naval Treaty deliberations, KURATOMI Yuzaburo, later wrote in his memoirs (Kitsugai Shimatsu), a detailed account of the exchange at that time between Navy Minister TAKARABE Takeshi and the Privy Councilors over the usurpation of the prerogative of supreme command.
