Morning aomagrat. Just how many ships did we scrap under the London Naval treaty?

I don't have an exact number of what we scrapped between the Washington and London Treaties, but here's an idea. Everything prior to USS UTAH (BB-31) went. Even of the remaining, UTAH and WYOMING were demilitarized in the '30s and became training ships. LEXINGTON and SARATOGA were battle cruisers that were converted to carriers rather than be scrapped. The first WASHINGTON (COLORADO class)was sunk as a target prior to completion.
