Following special consideration, icebreakers large enough to be
counted in subcategory (c) in Part 3, Chapter F, Article I (c) above,
shall be counted in that subcategory despite having a hull-
construction that would otherwise cause the icebreaker to be armoured
on the hull, provided that (a) the total number of such icebreakers
shall not exceed two thirds of the maximum number of capital ships
allowed to each nation, rounded down, and (b) that these vessels in
all other particulars do not exceed the limitations pursuant to ships
classed under Part 3, Chapter F, Article I (c).
