Four Queen Elizabeths for each Dominion and the treaty balance

What if each Dominion received four additional Queen Elizabeth-class battleships?

The much larger imperial battle line could provoke American modernization and prevent a Washington-style building holiday.

The premise gives each Dominion four Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, producing an imperial total discussed as twenty to twenty-five ships of that class. Such a concentration of fast 15-inch battleships would make the postwar naval balance much harder to settle. A Washington-style building holiday is rejected in favor of a renewed race. American modernization would need a faster battle line to answer the new standard. The exchange also distinguishes the public appearance of Anglo-American rivalry from the American Navy's concern with Japan.
