Um, the US heavy cruisers of the interwar periord were also Treaty Cruisers. The Italians and the US both left out torpedoes for the same reason: limited tonnage allowed meant compromises in design had to be made. Both nations decided torpedoes were not important enough to sacrifice armor, speed, guns, or otherwise, on a ship built for the purpose of gun fighting.
