I did not say no tonnage and feature limit, and GB could have hidden the 18 inch fact, like Yamato case. In this case, they had very good reason to keep them in secret, unlike 15 inch guns which had been well-known in QE class.It doesn't matter why the ships were designed as far as the US was concerned , if GB is building ships with 18" guns the US will do so as well. It isn't going to let itself get outgunned and the US has much more money. Despite Japanese complaining it limited the US more than anyone else. The Japanese were building ships at almost top speed even within those limits the US was not. It had more money than anyone. Having the same limits for the USN and the RN hurt the USN more than the RN. The US could simply outspend the UK + Japan with ease.
