Admiral and Hawkins treaty counterfactual

How would completed Admiral-class battlecruisers and larger Hawkins-class cruisers affect the Washington Naval Treaty and World War II?

The answer expects higher treaty limits, larger cruiser standards, and knock-on changes to King George V, Nelson, Rodney, and later foreign battleship designs.

Four large Admiral-class ships would make a 35,000-ton capital-ship limit much harder to impose and might push the limit toward 40,000 tons. A 15,000-ton Hawkins design with heavy guns would also set a new cruiser benchmark and change cruiser and carrier tonnage assumptions. Those treaty numbers would shape the next generation of battleships and cruisers.
