So, building on these discussions, how about:
Capital Ships:
-Maximum of 6 hulls, none exceeding standard tonnage of largest existing unit (25,000 t)
-Aggregate tonnage not to exceed 120,000 t
-Maximum caliber of 12"
-Part 3/A/VI of the Cleito Treaty (replacing ships laid down before 1911) does not apply
Aircraft Carriers:
-None permitted
Cruisers:
-Maximum 12 hulls, each not exceeding 8,000 t and 5.9" guns
Coastal Defence Ships
-None permitted
Destroyers:
-Maximum 24 hulls, each not exceeding 1,500 t and 5.1" guns
Submarines:
-None permitted
Torpedo Boats:
-Maximum 24 hulls, each not exceeding 300 t
Unrestricted:
(a) Naval surface combatant vessels of 600 tons (610 metric tons) standard displacement and under; provided they have none of the following characteristics:
(1) Are designed or fitted to launch torpedoes or mines;
(2) Are designed for a speed greater than 20.0 kts
(b) Naval surface combatant vessels exceeding 600 tons (610 metric tons), but not exceeding 2,000 tons (2,032 metric tons) standard displacement, provided they have none of the following characteristics:

(5) Are fitted to receive aircraft on board from the air.
(c) Naval surface vessels not specifically built as fighting ships which are employed on fleet duties or as troop transports or in some other way than as fighting ships, provided they have none of the following characteristics:

( Mount more than one aircraft-launching apparatus on the centre line; or two, one on each broadside;
(9) If fitted with any means of launching aircraft into the air, are designed or adapted to operate at sea more than ten aircraft.
(Bearing in mind that for now, Germany can't operate naval air forces anyway).
Replacement
Dates and rules for the replacement of ships is as indicated in the Cleito Treaty.
Quoted
The present Treaty provides for the disposal of vessels of war in the
following ways:
(i) By scrapping (sinking or breaking up);
(ii) By converting the vessel to a hulk;
(iii) By converting the vessel to target use exclusively;
(iv) By retaining the vessel exclusively for experimental purposes;
(v) By retaining the vessel exclusively for training purposes.
The present Treaty does not provide for disposal by way of sale to
another Contracting Power or to a non-Contracting Power.

Also, while the sale of ships by Germany may be OK, the sale of large-calibre guns (larger than 5.9") is questionable.
Finally, the CT currently bans the sale, transfer etc. of all restricted ships, not just Capital Ships* :
