US battleships standardized on triple 14-inch turrets

How would Second World War US battleships develop if the Navy standardized on triple 14-inch turrets from the Nevada class onward?

The United States would likely press for a 15-inch treaty ceiling rather than accept a 16-inch standard it could not exploit, while relying on the high rate of fire of its triple 14-inch mounts.

American gun choices at the Washington Naval Treaty negotiations depend on the weapons already in service. Japan could retain Nagato-class 16-inch ships as an exception, while Britain would resist any ceiling that made its 15-inch battle line obsolete. A 15-inch general limit is therefore considered more plausible than 16 inches in this counterfactual. Britain would probably pursue an F3-type capital ship instead of Nelson and Rodney, then resist a later reduction to 14 inches. American triple 14-inch mounts could compensate partly through an efficient rate of fire. The standardized gun would affect both later battleship designs and each navy's position in treaty negotiations.
