Hmmm... Perhaps you should go to the library and check out a book on marine 
propulsion systems.  You will find that most of the world's military ships 
are steam powered.  The only difference in the theory of operation between a 
WWII ship and a modern nuclear aircraft carrier is that the nuke ship uses a 
heat exchanger to heat water, while the older ship uses oil.
