The historical submarine category was nominally equitable because each signatory received the same total tonnage. Its exact ceiling did not divide cleanly into the same number of large submarines and left each navy with an awkward remainder. The proposed revision rounds the allowance up to 60,000 tons. That adjustment tests equality in usable ships rather than treating identical paper totals as sufficient.

Rounding submarine tonnage into whole-ship allocations
Equal submarine tonnage could still leave every signatory with an awkward remainder, so the proposed ceiling rises to 60,000 tons.
