  Washington Naval Treaty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instead, extensive conversions were made to existing battleships and battlecruisers, resulting in fleets in World War II that consisted primarily of ships laid-down before World War I.
Japan converted incomplete battleship Kaga and battlecruiser Akagi to aircraft carriers to conform to Washington Naval Treaty.
The Treaty, coupled with the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, was a major cause of the United States Navy's conversion from a battleship fleet to a carrier-based force.

 History of the 1921 Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Both battleships and battlecruisers were included in the study, with battlecruiser designs being lettered from K backwards to A, and battleship designs being lettered from L to Z. In both cases, a number, either 2 or 3, was added to designate twin or triple turrets.
A large tower superstructure of the type found on later battleships was included, as was a transom stern to improve efficiency at high speed.
They were designated as battlecruisers though, evidently solely on the basis of their 32-knot speed, or perhaps because the N3 battleship design would have been even better protected.

 Origins of the Battlecruiser
Thus armored cruisers might actually have an advantage over battleships at some ranges, and some proposals (in Italy and Russia) were put forward for ships armed exclusively with 8-inch guns (which were seen as the ideal combination of rapid-fire with armor-piercing).
The parallel N3 class battleships were slower, and armed with 18-inch guns; they were given a much lower priority than the "battlecruisers." The Japanese were likewise designing a parallel series of battleships and battlecruisers, where the only difference between types was slightly thicker armor in the battleships, and slightly higher speed in the battlecruisers.
Basically armored on a battleship scale, but with a relatively light main battery and high speed, some writers started calling them "battlecruisers" -- which could only be taken to mean that a ship with good armor but light guns had usurped the name.

Battleship construction with both of those powers continued through World War One and newer and better battleships were added to both fleets during the war.
Battleship designs were designated by the letters "L" through "Z" with the newer design further up in the alphabet.
N3 had a half-knot edge in speed (23.5 kn vs 23 kn) and an edge in armor (15-in belt vs 13.5-in belt) but in main armament they were probably evenly matched.

The official definition of the G3 was as a battle-cruiser, compared with the N3 it sacrificed fire power (16 inch guns compared with 18 inch) for speed.
The German navy had ceased to be a danger for a while as it was down to 18 battleships compared to Britain's 39 at the time of the armistice.
With Germany deemed the major strategic threat Britain kept most modern units of her fleet, especially the newer N3, G3 and G4 battleship classes, in home waters to counter the Hochseeflotte.

 British 18"/45 (45.7 cm) Mark II and other Proposed Guns 1920-1922
Following the end of the First World War, Britain undertook an investigation into new battleship and battlecruiser designs which were to incorporate all of the lessons learned during the war.
After much detail design work and weighing of alternatives, the "G3" battlecruiser design armed with nine 16"/45 (40.6 cm) guns and the "N3" battleship design armed with nine 18"/45 (45.7 cm) guns were selected late in 1920.
The 16" (40.6 cm) guns that were intended for the "G3" class battlecruisers, but which instead wound up being used on the Nelson class battleships, are described separately under their own data page.
