washington naval treaty

What if the Washington naval treaty of 1922 had allowed the British Royal Navy to keep its prior two power standard and build the Nelson class battleships and complete the rest of the admiral class (HMS Hood’s class) rather than have the same amount of capital ships as the American Navy? For...

Under Article VIII of the Washington naval treaty HMS Furious was, due to having started her conversion before the 12th November 1921, considered an experimental ship and therefore exempt from the rule of having to be 20 years old before being allowed to be replaced. Since her two sisters HMS...

During the discussions regarding the Five Power Treaty between 12 November 1921 and 6 February 1922, it became clear that the IJN were determined to retain Mutsu and that the British ships were, on average, the oldest. By 30 November 1921 the parties were in deadlock. To thrash out a compromise...

The Colorado-class battleships were the last Standard-type ships the USN would ever build: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado-class_battleship Originally four ships were planned: Colorado, Maryland, Washington and West Virginia. However, with the development of the Washington Naval Treaty...

So, this is something I've always kind of wondered but haven't found a solid answer for it. Most of the major navies in the interwar period built some form of battlecruisers, or at least had them available at the start of the war, except for the USN. Why is that? I know that the Lexingtons were...

The final treaty allows two to be finished like this but the other two must be converted to aircraft carriers with no guns larger than 5.1in. Courageous and Glorious must be converted to large light cruisers, with 12 guns no larger than 6.1in, all others less than 5.1in. What are we looking at...

Anyways, with a POD in spring of 1915, this is the alternate world in 1923, as a semi- to almost-realistic take on the popular Hearts of Iron 4 mod, Kaiserreich. The objective is to determine the outcome of this alternate Washington Naval Treaty.

The G3 was planned class of the battlecruiser for the Royal Navy post WW1. This ship were cancelled because of the Washington Naval Treaty. The Treaty allowed the signatories to convert two existing or under construction capital ships into aircraft carries with a displacement of 33 000 tons...

In the event of a CP victory (specifically the no USA, successful spring offensive kind) does the context still exist for a Naval treaty like OTL's WNT to exist, or are we to see something considerably different?

Putting aside how unlikely it is due to the basically uncontested US naval hegemony, how would a modern version of the Washington/London Naval Treaties look like? I would imagine the permanent 5 security council members would participate with maybe a few others too. Since no-one would build a...

Now this one is a question I've been thinking. If the Washington Naval Treaty Failed, what would happen to the various Navies in the world. The most common thing I heard is that the Royal Navy would be able to expand and the rest of the Commonwealth or Empire could get the Royal Navy's...

Looking at the various ship proposals that were floated through WW1 and towards the end of the decade, multiple various proposals were floated for the new generation of ships to replace those in the Navy's fleet. Some of the more well-known proposals were the South Dakota class Battleships...

Patriot Rebellion. 1785-95 After the disastrous defeat suffered in the Fourth Anglo-Dutch war a number of citizens began to voice a wish to bring about changes to the government. Among the most influential was Joan van der Capellen tot den Pol who would become a key figure in the coming...
