Roosevelt, Tillman, and a different naval treaty

Would a Tillman battleship have been built under Theodore Roosevelt, and could Tillman have changed the Washington Naval Treaty?

Possibly: Roosevelt might have backed one, and Tillman's influence was strong enough that his continued political presence could have produced a different Washington Naval Treaty.

A Tillman-type battleship might plausibly have been built had Theodore Roosevelt remained president. The answer rests less on the design alone than on Senator Benjamin Tillman's ability to influence presidents and naval policy from Congress. That political leverage makes the counterfactual relevant beyond a single enormous warship. If Tillman had lived longer, his continued presence could also have changed the terms or direction of the Washington Naval Treaty.
