§ Colonel LlewellinBetween 1918 and 1935 Great Britain completed three capital ships, the United States seven, Germany two, and Japan three. No other naval Power built capital ships during these years. For the present definition of a capital ship, as embodied in Article 1 of the London Naval Treaty of 1936, I would refer the hon.
