Why would an oil fired steam turbine be a bad solution for a submarine, compared to then contemporary diesels? Fast ships did use oil fired steam turbines, not large diesel engines - so why not submarines? What are the differences?
How many of the accidents are really attributable to the steam turbine?
The article is a little shallow on that point, I think it's an interesting question. Why were so many holes needed?
I think quite many of these histories tend to "a new plane was designed and made, it was faster than the previous ones, it was used by these units for these years." You don't learn much.
