Steam turbines were first used in British navy ships in the early 20th century, with the HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1906, being one of the first battleships to utilize them. The adoption of steam turbine technology marked a significant advancement in naval engineering, allowing for greater speed and efficiency compared to traditional reciprocating engines. This innovation played a crucial role in the evolution of naval warfare and ship design during that era.
