Best Answer

Many warships of World War I were driven by coal-fueled reciprocating steam engines. The steam turbine was first used in a ship (Turbinia) in 1894 and used for modern warships beginning in 1904. But it did not completely replace the older engines until decades later. The advent of diesel and oil-fired turbines also began around the start of the war in 1914.

During World War 1 why did Germany and great Britain use naval blockades against each other?

Warships are for fighting (combat); they can only do that in the open sea. Keeping warships blocked up in harbor is the same as keeping your car locked up in the garage. If the warships are locked up (in harbor) they are pretty well useless. What good is a car if you can't drive it!
