The closing discussion recalls a separate, more generous Washington treaty scenario. Its allowance would permit ten fleet carriers totalling 300,000 tons and twenty scout carriers totalling 240,000 tons. Applying the retained-RNAS premise to those limits would create a substantially larger force. This is an extension using different treaty assumptions, so its totals do not describe the main scenario developed earlier.
