Why should a dreadnaughts engine be physically larger that an escorts? The physical size of the engine on an aircraft carrier is not much larger than on a cruiser. The power is different but both ships have approximately the same cruising speed.
What I find strange is each engine gives the same tactical movement to any size ship.
