A treaty loophole for torpedo-heavy capital ships

What ships emerge if a treaty classifies any vessel with more torpedo tubes than guns as an unlimited-size torpedo boat?

Battleships, cruisers, and destroyers would exploit the loophole with very large torpedo batteries and mechanical reload systems.

The wording invites navies to redesign nearly every major combatant around torpedoes. Battleships and cruisers would retain heavy guns while adding multiple banks of large launchers, probably with autoloaders because the treaty removes the normal size penalty. A G3-style example reaches roughly thirty-two tubes. Arms-control definitions can redirect displacement into weapons that an agreement failed to count.
