  1. I suggest that Treaty Battleships get dubbed the Cherry Trees (referencing how the Nelson-class was dubbed the Cherry Tree-class because it was chopped down by Washington to comply with the treaty) and treaty-era ships be dubbed the Cardboard Battleships referencing the quote “They are either making their ships out of cardboard or they’re lying regarding the sneaky tricks to hide the displacement of those ships.

  2.  @mastathrash5609 Probably Kamchatka herself and similar ships converted from civilian vessels.

  3.  @davidbriggs7365 He is talking about the 1939 South Dakota-class. These were classified as Fast Battleships by the USN and they were built. You are thinking of the earlier never built South Dakota-class.

  4. I would call them post-treaty or Escalator battleships as the South Dakota-class were built after the Escalator-class was invoked.

  5. For me the Iowa is a fast battleship which is what the US Navy called them.

  6. I go with the USA classification system. Later generation dreadnoughts are standard-type while Washington-era designs and the Iowas are fast battleships. The Kongos in their battle cruiser configuration also count as fast battleships.
