Experimental carriers still counted against treaty tonnage

Did Washington Treaty carrier rules let the United States force Britain to scrap experimental carriers?

The response rejects a one-sided reading. Total carrier-tonnage ceilings and experimental-ship rules constrained every signatory, while the claim about American pressure remains unresolved.

A viewer asks whether American policy forced Britain to scrap experimental carriers before building replacements. The reply points to total carrier-tonnage ceilings and the way experimental ships counted against them. Those limits applied to every signatory, so the response rejects a purely one-sided reading. It does not settle the viewer's claim about American negotiating pressure, leaving that causal point unresolved.
