Rename?

I propose that the article Turbo-electric transmission be renamed Steam turbine-electric transmission and that the article Turbine-electric transmission be renamed Gas turbine-electric transmission. For comparison, the article Diesel-electric transmission is not Piston engine-electric transmission. Biscuittin (talk) 18:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Turbo-electric transmission

There might be some material that could be salvaged from this deleted article: [1]. Also we might want to broaden the scope of this article to include steam turbines, now that the other article is gone. GA-RT-22 (talk) 18:48, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: This is not the old Turbo-Electric page the Lexington class used to link too, which was a ship propulsion article. Can that article be brought back? It was better in quality, if needing some expansion. This one is missing things like how between 1920-1945, it would eat up 30% more engine room, compared to a gearbox setup.

Too train focused, this current one, with a very big lack on what for propulsion system we are actually dealing with. You also have cars, using turbo-electric propulsion, you know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1C04:3C35:BA00:888D:EC29:9802:4F61 (talk) 20:54, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this article is totally inadequate for describing the nuclear and circa 1920 capital ship turbo-electric drivetrains. Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 05:25, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article might be better served as a disambiguation page

I may have just spent a bunch of time improving the flow of a section of this article but I feel like there's not much value to this article. There's little content here and if expanded it would include discussion similar to that found in the diesel–electric powertrain and integrated electric propulsion articles. Ideally there'd be an article about systems that use mechanical to electrical to mechanical propulsion systems in general and perhaps articles about their use in marine, land/locomotive, and now aircraft, but there isn't and I don't think there's even a term within these industries discussing this.
