Battleships primarily used steam power generated by coal-fired or oil-fired boilers to drive their propellers. This steam power enabled them to achieve greater speeds and navigate effectively in various naval engagements. Later developments saw the introduction of diesel engines, which provided improved efficiency and range. Ultimately, the transition from coal to oil in the early 20th century marked a significant evolution in battleship propulsion.
