Plus 4 units under construction.

*Owing to the conditions of the Italian ships and to the wear and tear on them
during the past years, and the consequent need of frequent repairs, one must cal-
culate that, on an average 24 of them will be in full commission and 14 under
repair. For this reason as also for the general considerations expounded in the
Memorandum of Avril 1946 (p.11), it is thought that at least 6 cruisers have to be
left to Italy, 4 of which of the same type with 6 inch. guns, and 2 with 5, 4
inch. guns. [Footnote in the source text. ]

*The same remarks made for the cruisers apply even more to the destroyers,
and justify the request of 8 destroyers. The larger number of destroyers
requested comes together with a corresponding reduction of the number from
16 to 12 of the torpedo-boats. [Footnote in the source text. ]

tObviously the over-age torpedo-boats have been excluded. [Footnote in the
source text. ]

§They are necessary for the fundamental needs of the training of anti-sub-
marine units. [Footnote in the source text.]

[It is pointed out that Finland, Roumania, and Bulgaria have been granted
the right to have M. T. B.s for defensive purposes. Nations which are far better
off than Italy with regard to defensive needs (length of the coast line—geograph-
‘cal shape and position—vulnerability of objectives—entity of sea - traffic, etc.).
