Dutch battlecruisers enter the Washington negotiations

Would two Dutch battlecruisers in service by late 1913 change the Washington Naval Treaty?

They would not transform the overall balance, but powerful Tiger-, Queen Mary-, or Kongō-like ships could bring the Netherlands into the capital-ship negotiations.

The first response gives two ordinary 1913 battlecruisers little influence over the main naval balance. Another participant argues that ships comparable to Tiger, Queen Mary, or Kongō would strengthen the case for Dutch participation in capital-ship limitation. The Netherlands is identified as already participating in the associated China negotiations, so the issue is admission to the naval agreement. The prompt specifies ships in service by late 1913; a suggestion that Britain might seize them during construction does not fit that timing. Their hypothetical specifications therefore matter to the disputed diplomatic outcome.
