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.

Are all turbines powered by steam?
No, there are gas turbines powered by hot gas formed by the burning of kerosene (in aircraft engines) or by natural gas combustion for electrical generation. Gas turbines are also used in some naval ships. Then there are water turbines as used in hydro power. Also, wind can drive turbines.

How does a fuel burning power station work?
First they put the fuel in a burner to burn it, then when it is burning it heats up water above it which cause the water to produce steam. The steam is used to turn turbines then the turbines turn the generators, which then leads to energy.
Who built the first steam-powered train?
Trevithick, a british engineer built the first steam locomotive in 1804
