The present Dutch capital ship OOB is as follows:
2 BB of the "De Ruyter" class:
De Ruyter, Tromp
2 BC of the "Zeven Provinciën" class
Zeven Provinciën, De Hollandia
2 BC of the "Ijselijk" class
Ijselijk, Buitengewoon
2 PD of the "Ijseelmer" class
Ijseelmer, Molucca
With two Utrecht class battleships under construction.
When these are completed, the Dutch fleet will have 10 capital ships, against their Clieto Treaty allocation of 8.
There go the existing two PDs.

From 1929 I can replace the those old BCs and use the newly build ships to replace the ZPs.

No, from 1932...since the two "new Utretchs" take up the "two pre-1910 replacements", regardless of the lay-down date of any additional ships the Netherlands cannot lay down any further Capital Ships until the building holiday expires.

"Each Contracting Power that under Part 3, Chapter A, Article V above, retains at least one capital ship laid down prior to January 1st 1911, and has not given up capital ships laid down after January 1st 1911, shall be permitted to lay down two capital ships in replacement of two existing capital ships that would otherwise be retained under the treaty, which are to be disposed of as per Part 3, Chapter H, Articles I-VIII below, upon completion of the replacement-tonnage."

Ok, then the "new" Ijseelmers and ZPs will have to wait until 1931 to be started .The rest of the plan is as already explained.

With a building time of about 4 years this means they wouldn´t enter into service until 1935... Quite a difference to what we heard so far. :o)

Btw, could you please post the complete stats of your planned rebuild if you haven´t done so far (can´t find it)? Thanks. There´s something I really need to know...
