Turbo-electric drives without naval treaties

Without the Washington Naval Treaty, would more countries investigate turbo-electric drive?

Yes. More navies would probably explore the system, though the exchange does not establish which would adopt it.

Without treaty constraints, more navies would investigate turbo-electric drive. The answer is confident that interest would widen, although the short passage does not identify which services would adopt the machinery. It also leaves comparative performance and cost unresolved. This watch point establishes the likely direction of experimentation without claiming that turbo-electric propulsion would become universal.
