Britain's eight G3s and N3s combined with ten later ships would yield eighteen newer capital ships. Hood would bring that total to nineteen within a possible ceiling of twenty. Very few First World War veterans could remain in that battle fleet. America's Colorados, South Dakotas and Lexingtons would account for sixteen ships before another ten entered service. Some Colorados could leave before the 1940s if a twenty-ship limit were enforced. The arithmetic depends on the scenario's assumed construction and fleet ceilings.

Replacement arithmetic leaves little room for older battleships
Eight British G3s and N3s plus ten later ships would fill most of an illustrative twenty-ship fleet.
