Why naval officers were excluded from treaty talks

Why were naval officers excluded from the Second London Naval Treaty talks?

Their repeated technical objections were treated as obstruction by politicians who wanted an agreement, so the naval specialists were removed from the talks.

Naval officers kept pointing out that proposed limits did not produce workable ships or coherent categories. Those technical objections were treated as obstruction, and the naval professionals were removed from the discussions. Even officers trying to improve the proposals were dismissed when their advice did not fit the desired agreement. The dispute concerned whether the treaty's proposed restrictions could produce practical ships.
