buque de vapor noun

It was almost as if someone had had an idea of a steam ship and attempted to make it, irrespective of whether it worked well or not. But it was obvious that it was not my place to judge.
Daban la impresión de haber sido diseñados por alguien que sólo poseyera leves nociones sobre los buques de vapor, indiferente al hecho de si funcionarían o no. Con todo, no me tocaba juzgar a mí.

In practice the development of military technology from steam ships, which aided supply, to machine guns, which meant firepower that was both superior and portable, made a considerable difference, although this can be exaggerated. Machine guns were not plentiful.
En la práctica, el desarrollo de la tecnología militar, desde los buques de vapor (que contribuían a facilitar los suministros) hasta las ametralladoras (que permitían disponer de una potencia de fuego no solo más eficiente sino además portátil), marcaban importantes diferencias, aunque es posible que se exagerara un tanto.
