The warp core was originally a space babble replacement for a boiler on a steam ship, since it was based on WW2 navy ships. On old steam ships literally almost everything ran directly on auxiliary steam. As a result of probably not revisiting this since the 60s: everything in trek runs directly on warp core plasma.

You mean WW 0? Even in WW1 ICE powered ships are commonplace.

Yup almost 3000 liberty ships with triple expansions and heavy oil fired boilers were built during the war boss.

I discovered that while watching the movie Battleship lol
