Could oil-fired American battleships strengthen the Grand Fleet at Jutland?

If the United States entered the war earlier, would it send oil-fired battleships as well as coal-fired ships to the Grand Fleet?

The possibility is left open; American ships with 14-inch guns could add a powerful element to the slower British battle line.

Earlier American entry raises the possibility of sending oil-fired Standard-type battleships to the Grand Fleet. Gunnery practice at Scapa Flow under Jellicoe would help address the shooting problems mentioned here. Their speed would fit the older British 21-knot battleships, while 14-inch guns and substantial armor would strengthen that formation. New York and Texas supply a separate caution about dispersion: differences in stored propellant temperature could affect shooting consistency. The comparison distinguishes a powerful gun from the conditions required to obtain accurate fire.
