The agreement could cover carriers and cruisers alongside capital ships. Submarine restrictions are less likely in this forecast because governments would resist surrendering large forces. A treaty running from 1927 to 1937 could permit continuous building. Ten capital ships during the decade would be affordable for either Britain or America in this estimate. Orders might come in pairs, with each batch incorporating improvements over the previous one.
