Details have been published regarding the recently-enacted Fleet Replenishment Act. Called by some the “Four-Four” Fleet Program, it calls for the construction of four new armored cruisers, four new light cruisers and sixteen large fleet destroyers, as well as ancillary ships, over the next five years. Hailed by many as the first coherent naval program in the history of the republic it remains to be seen whether the nation’s finances can stand the strain imposed upon them. Nevertheless, the adoption of the Replenishment Act has been well-received by the public and has calmed some of the anger that has been focused on the Malacañan Palace.

The French (and Chileans, for that matter) are increasingly scratching their heads over the public outcry in the Philippines over the Treaty of Saigon, given that the Filipinos achieved all of their war aims for minimal cost. Granted, they did not achieve absolute military victory over China, but they're fooling themselves if they think that was ever in the cards.
Ah, public perception...

It's a side effect of our economical rules. Historically, an Alaska was not noticably cheaper than the Iowas were, but since we're a pure tonnage economy, ships in that weight class become much more attractive than they should be.

So Italian/Iberian/Danish ships are looked to fill that need.
