“Not sure where you are coming up with all that.”

Since you didn’t actually read my post perhaps you should do so before we go on.

Sure I read it. And I will ask again, where do you come up with the supposition that Germany would make super amazing battleships just because the Washington treaty wasn’t in place? What evidence leads to this conclusion? Why would German make this investment when there is no indication they had that level of interest in sea power?

Even if they had built an H44 how would they have gotten it to the Pacific intact? And in hypothetical land you might as well assume the Japanese built at A-150 to match it. Know why everyone agreed to Washington? Because few people really wanted to spend that much. Had the treaty not happened who knows what would have been built by who. You can’t assume Germany would make double super dreadnaughts and no one else would. Removing the Washington treaty changes the ‘what if’ so far beyond reasonable speculation that you can’t just assume something like that.
