Could ending the naval race ease Anglo-German tension?

Why did Britain want to end the naval building race as quickly as possible?

Ending a major source of Anglo-German tension could create space for rapprochement or greater British neutrality, although an invasion of Belgium would still matter.

A decisive end to the naval race could remove a major source of tension between Britain and Germany. That offered a diplomatic reason to deliver powerful ships promptly rather than wait for a technically ideal design. The proposed outcome was more room for rapprochement and potentially greater British neutrality in a continental war. An invasion of Belgium would remain a separate obstacle. The argument identifies an opportunity to reduce tension, without establishing that ending naval competition would guarantee peace.
