A Tiger-like Hood and the Washington treaty

What changes if Hood is built with a design density more like Tiger?

Hood might reach roughly 45,000 tons and force treaty negotiators to create a distinct high-speed capital-ship allowance.

The estimate increases Hood from roughly 42,000 to 45,000 tons if she is built more like Tiger. One possible treaty response would allow each power a limited number of 45,000-ton high-speed capital ships while placing slower battleships in another category. Ships capable of at least 29 knots could receive the larger allowance, with vessels of 28 knots and below using the battleship allocation. Carrier design would also be affected, although the consequences are left unspecified.
