Naval Pact signals five year Franco Italian naval pause
The agreement between France and Italy with Britain limits armament for five years, forbids new submarines, restricts battleship sizes, and curbs cruiser guns. It aims to end the naval arms race, while Britain, America, and Japan watch. The pact may be buttressed by a gentleman’s agreement until 1936, with future disarmament prospects tied to 1932 and 1936 conferences.

Critics note its visibility and vulnerability to destroyers, while supporters cite long range scouting value and future designs like the Akron with room for aircraft and guns. The dispute likely continues until real warfare tests or more dirigible disasters end the debate.
