Who were the allies in the battle of the Philippine sea?

The USN. British warships were considered "short legged" by the USN. HMS warships were built for re-fuelling at naval bases; and had not learned nor were they equipped for "Fuelling At Sea" as USN warships could do; and nearly all Australian warships were British built. Consequently, British/Australian warships were often left out of the battle when battle did come. The British were by no means happy about this. But it couldn't be helped...the US had a war to win (keep up or be left behind!).


ARE THERE British warships from world war 2 still around?

There is a British light cruiser from World War II still preserved today, the HMS Belfast. She is anchored right smack in front of the Tower Bridge in London. There is no way you can miss it. I think that is all, actually. The British haven't preserved a lot of their warships, and I have seen people say they felt bad because there were so many famous British warships that got scrapped. However, there are many other World War II ships around the globe too and I'm sure they are all worth seeing.

Were there steam warships in World War 1?

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.
