- The Brooklyns were light cruisers(CL) according to treaty definitions because of their armament consisting of 6 inch guns. But otherwise they were at least as effetive as the CA's. Nevfennas 18:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Washington Naval Treaty
The text say: "The term was given a definition by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1921." but I cannot find any reference to "cruiser" in the text of the Washington Naval Treaty, here]. --Moroboshi 09:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- It's actually in the follow-up treaty of London in 1930 [1] Nevfennas 13:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
