What would later naval treaties regulate?

How would the alternate war affect naval treaties?

Treaties would likely come later and regulate the size and guns of individual ships rather than impose the historical overall fleet ratios.

A different outcome to World War I would change the prospects for naval arms control. A treaty might arrive in the late 1920s or early 1930s instead of 1922. In this scenario, Britain would be unwilling to accept treaty equality with the United States. An agreement would more likely limit each ship's size and guns while leaving total construction unrestricted.
