No battleship can exceed 35.000tns.
No battleship can exceed the speed of 25 knts, and if a ship exceeds the speed of 25 knts, said ship will be considered a Battle –cruiser
Though, it is allowed, to exceed the tonnage limit with 1 % (350t).

No Battle –cruiser can exceed 25 .000 t, and can't be armed with guns exceeding 14" (350mm).
All Battle –cruiser can exceed speed above 25 knts
Though, it is allowed, to exceed the tonnage limit with 1 % (250t).

No Fleet/Scout Cruiser can exceed 15.000 tns and can be armed with a maximum of 12"(300mm), if a ship ships any mainguns above 12"(300mm),it is considered a Battle –cruiser ,it is though allowed ,without penalty, to exceed weight with 1%(150 tns).

No Light Cruiser can exceed 7.500 tns and can be armed with a maximum of 8"(205mm),it is though allowed ,without penalty, to exceed weight with 1%(75 tns).

All Coast Defense Vessels are limited to a maximum tonnage of 7,000 tons light displacement and a range of no more than 4,000 miles.

The 1% "rule" doesn't apply to destroyers,submarines and Mtbs

Jefgte, only the clause over battleship's was signed. You can do whatever you want with anything else. And seeing as you didn't sign anyways...

... only the clause over battleship's was signed...

Yes, that is a "mini-mini" Treaty...  ;D
