From An Equitable Washington Treaty: Capital Ships with UAD (Long Patrol) ·
Using Hood and contemporary uncompleted designs as the benchmark, the proposed treaty allows 42,000-ton standard-displacement capital ships with 16-inch guns.
From An Equitable Washington Treaty: Capital Ships with UAD (Long Patrol) ·
The proposed 10:7 ratio aims to reduce Japanese insecurity while preserving American naval and industrial superiority.

The alternative treaty limits simultaneous construction and stages replacements by a ship's age instead of imposing a long building holiday.
From An Equitable Washington Treaty: Capital Ships with UAD (Long Patrol) ·
Proposed fleet allowances create room for new capital ships, while the one-fifth construction ceiling limits how many can be built together.
From An Equitable Washington Treaty: Capital Ships with UAD (Long Patrol) ·
A maximum displacement leaves France and Italy free to choose smaller battleships and obtain more hulls within the proposed national allowance.
