@Tsnelo Subs lacked the speed to travel with a task force.

@WhisperingDeath Your question lacks context. The technology of Aviation moved faster than Naval strategy and tactics. In the World went from Foker Tri-planes to the Supermarine Spitfire in 20 years. 20 years ago YouTube didn't exist. The iPod didn't exist. Personal drones didn't exist. And I still got a phone book every year.......

@matchesburn From a Engineering view? The job of a boiler is to heat water into steam. The steam runs a turbine. The turbine is connected to the props to give propulsion. To get maximum work from the steam; you aim to make the travel distance of the steam as low as possible. On a cargo ship or tanker, that means all that stuff aft. Leaving 3/4 0f the ship for tanks or holds. A warship likes weapons fore and aft. So amidship boiler location make sense.

@aurorabesalduch2499 Why? The fleet rarely was far from Land based air power.

@levipierson4946 Oil as a liquid is easy to transport and store. Coal is moving bags of rocks. It is laborious to handle and stoke. Burns dirty giving a smoke trail to spot. Until the invention of off shore drilling, The USA And Indonesia were the major oil exporters.

@roblaird9909 Nope.... Aircraft technology in 1922 had not advanced that far. Nor the tactics.

@kemarisite His idea is five steps ahead of the technology or tactics of 1922. Carrier tactics and planes need 20 years to become weapons over Eyes of the fleet.

@alexgorski1806 Your moving tactics faster than technology. In 1916, naval Air power was just becoming a weapon. Combined tactics and communications with ships are in their infancy.
