In April 1933, Arthur, gradually getting into work mode, contemplated the several blueprints laid out on his desk.
These blueprints were from the Royal Shipyard's designs, the very same ones Minister Thomas had mentioned before, for the new battleships and aircraft carriers.
Because the Naval Limitation Treaty was no longer in effect, theoretically, there were no restrictions on the tonnage of newly built battleships and aircraft carriers for any country.
This meant that the projected displacement of the battleship on the blueprint before Arthur was expected to reach 45,700 tons, with a full-load displacement exceeding 52,000 tons, making it a true super battleship.
However, Arthur had no interest in building too many of such super battleships. Even in the construction plan proposed by the Ministry of Defense, only two of these super battleships would be built, and thereafter, they would be given up entirely regarding battleship design.
