Battleships
Battleships (defined as a ship with a standard tonnage greater than 27,500 long tons and an armament of 11 inches or greater) are limited to a standard tonnage of no more than 40,000 long tons, with an armament no greater than 16.5 inches*. No ships with a tonnage or armament exceeding the above limits are to be constructed, sold, or delivered to a foreign power, and all ships built for foreign customers or on speculation must be announced to treaty signatories within at least 30 days of the ships being laid down. Ships may exceed their tonnage limit by 10% in future overhauls, with such additions taking place no less than 15 years after entering service and not counting against tonnage limits.

*Exceptions: Signatories may field no more than two ships with a tonnage no greater than 50,000 long tons and an armament no greater than 18 inches.

Battlecruisers
Battlecruisers (defined as a ship with a standard tonnage greater than 27,500 long tons, an armament of 11 inches or greater, and a top speed no less than 25 knots) are limited to a standard tonnage of no more than 40,000 long tons, with an armament no greater than 16.5 inches, and a top speed no less than 25 knots*.
