You have a point, but your #2 is incorrect insofar as my understanding of the proposal is concerned. It basically sub-divides the Fleet into three categories; Overseas Station, Reaction force, and Home Guard. The numbers from the third category are used to determine the cuts. The theory (as far as I know, please correct me if I am offbase Hood) is that the treaty limits the major European navies based on how much "bloat" they have after what is necessary to defend there colonies.So...
1) We decide what we need, based on our own assessments?
2) Rather than reduce numbers because we have friends to help us, we increase numbers because we have friends to help?
This doesn't seem like it would reduce naval arms in any way.
Perhaps it might be better to do things more like this (examples may be slightly ridiculous):Quoted
