Steam ships are largely obsolete in commercial shipping today, having been largely replaced by diesel and gas-powered vessels due to their efficiency and speed. However, some steam-powered ships are still used for tourism, historical reenactments, or educational purposes. Additionally, steam propulsion technology has seen a revival in niche applications, such as small-scale or recreational boating. Overall, while not prevalent, steam ships still have a presence in specific contexts.

Are steam engines still being used?
Steam engines presently produce more power than all other types of engines combined. Most steam engines take the form of the steam turbine engine. The steam turbine is responsible for generating about 86% of the electric power used on this planet. Reciprocating steam engines are still in use for limited applications, but are generally considered obsolete. Steam engines, either the piston or turbine type were used on most big ships until recently, and there are still a few steam locomotives about.
Were there steamboats during World War 2?
The major source of propulsion for ships in World War II was steam, diesel was the other alternative. It still remains as one of the primary systems used in ships today.
Was bunker c used in steam engines?
As fuel oil in the boilers of steam-turbine powered ships, perhaps.
What does s.s. mean before a ships name?
SS means Streamship.It is usually understood to mean "Steam Ship" Some ships used TSS for "Turbine Steam Ship"
Why were viking ships no longer used?
