Despite the fact that the minister of Navy spoke against the tiding that the navy asked for a budget of 460.000.000 for a period of 4 years to be able to built warships seemed this tiding to be correct. The press association Reuter reported from Tokyo that the naval shipbuilding program consisted of cruisers of 8,500 tons, a mother plane ship of 8,000 ton, 7 destroyers, 6 submarines, 1 minelayer of 5,000 ton, several minesweepers, torpedo boats and 5 aircraft squadrons.
