Why Skoda's naval guns faced political limits

Was Skoda allowed to build naval guns and turrets after the First World War?

No treaty clause necessarily prevented production, but the politics of selling major naval weapons created a much stronger practical obstacle.

Skoda's works lay outside the German treaty regime and retained substantial technical capability. That did not create an easy export market: potential customers risked offending the established naval powers and stepping outside their existing industrial relationships. The exchange shows why legal capacity, engineering capacity, and political freedom to sell are separate questions.
