Yes...as long as they don’t run out of gas!
I get the feeling that steam-powered battleships would survive longer in terms of being able to refuel on short notice, so long as the fireboxes were adapted for wood and other similar materials; wooden ships could even be dismantled as a fuel source.
In the mid 80’s two guys wrote a book called “Remember the Alamo”.
It involved a wealthy dying oil tycoon who has pretty much perfected time travel. H feels that he, if he can send people back to Alamo to change the outcome of the battle, would be in a position to eventually occupy oil fields that are just south of the current Texas-Mexico border.
The people he sends back are Vietnam vets and mercenaries. he plans on winning the battle with claymore mines and automatic weapons.
All in all, it was a good book with a few twists and turns that keep the reader interested.
