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.
