Five naval powers debated how to scrap proscribed battle ships with disagreement. The American plan favored rendering ships useless while Britain and Japan hesitated, suggesting use as harbor guards or training vessels.

Meanwhile Japan signaled possible consensus on status quo fortifications and plans for renewed negotiations loom.
