The 1936 treaty confirmed Article 22 of the 1930 treaty remained in force, and "all others Powers [were invited] to express their assent to the rules embodied in this Article".

In 1930, during the London Naval Conference, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William V. Pratt, successfully argued for an additional class of naval surface combatants that would not be limited in the number that could be constructed.
