Baseline: Simple & Complex Reciprocating Engines, Engine Year 1890
1895: Engine Year 1900
1902: Engine year 1905, Max. non-VTE power 5,000 HP/Shaft, Direct-drive Turbines
1905: Engine year 1909, Max. non-VTE power 12,000 HP/Shaft
1909: Engine year 1912, Max. non-VTE power 20,000 HP/Shaft
1913: Engine year 1916, Max. non-VTE power 35,000 HP/Shaft
1917: Engine year 1920, Max. non-VTE power 40,000 HP/Shaft, Engine year = year laid down.

If I understand well;
In 1902, we could research Direct Drive Turbine & note 1905 in SS (Engine Built).
The limitation is 5000shp per shaft => 20 000shp for the classic 4 shafts.

I have noted in some navies fast ACs actualy with 22 000 or 24 000shp with Complex Reciprocating Engine.

Did we maintain the 5000shp limitation for 1902 turbines ?

The limit is for Turbines only. VTE can have (theoretically) as much SPH as SS allows.

Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
