Historical interwar treaties had treaty-exempt category and I would suggest that one be added to the game. These would be the following:
A Coastal Combat ships that are too small to sail with the fleet - KE's would be the ships
B. Medium-size ships for defense of overseas territories or trade routes - light cruisers with colonial check box ticked
C. Auxiliary ships that are based on mercantile ships - These would be AMC's.
Thanks
Article 8 of the London Treaty of 1930 covers this category:
