Allocating carrier forces by theatre

Could treaty carrier allowances follow each navy's theatre requirements, with heavy-gun limits to discourage hybrid carriers?

The proposal receives amused approval, but the response does not assess its force numbers or likely effects in detail.

A viewer builds a carrier-force proposal around operating theatres: two ships for each British station, three for each American coast, five or six for Japan, and four each for France and Italy. The plan also limits each carrier to eight guns larger than six inches. This restriction is meant to discourage the United States and Japan from sacrificing air-group capacity for heavily armed hybrid carriers. The response calls the idea "evil" and appealing but does not test the proposed numbers, leaving them as a viewer's counterfactual design.
