This article raises how the transition from coal to oil in the US fleet and the Royal English Navy at the beginning of the 20th century, was an operational decision with an impact on national interests and energy security, which presented challenges to these countries to ensure the supply of this fossil fuel, leading to the creation of the United States naval strategic oil reserves and the acquisition of the Anglo Persian Oil Company by the English government; Likewise, like the initial studies and the final decisions on the reconversion, they are parallel with the birth and the take-off of the oil industry in the United States. To continue with the use of nuclear propulsion in submarines as precursors for its implementation in aircraft carriers, due to the large volumes of energy required in the fulfillment of its mission and finally, the actions that the US Navy has been carrying out as a consequence of the transition towards alternative energies.
