The RN got uniquely screwed by this treaty when they re-armed in the mid 30s. So WI they ignored this treaty on the quiet and built to the 'escalator clauses' like those who waited a while before re-arming?
The KGV Battleships could be 40-45,000t and have 9 x 16" guns, and be in service a year earlier.
The armoured carriers could be 27,000t and carry 50-60 aircraft in 1941.
The T class submarines could be 2000t and have a speed of 19-20kt. Among other things.

Would this effect WW2 much?
