Inspired by this thread: here

During the 1930s many powers built battleships despite the fact that as we know air power was becoming increasingly important and the vessels obselete. What I want to know is if you were asked to come up with designs for the battlefleets of each nation, sticking to the Washington treaty, how would you split up the tonnage ?

And most importantly what is the best design for a 1930s battleship within 35,000 tons ? I personally think that the KGV class was not the best as it could have done with a 15 inch armament in more orthodox turrets.
