They DO make transmissions and driveshafts that big...and bigger.
These items are installed on all current Navy ships. The shafts are on the order of two feet in diameter and the MRG's (Main Reduction Gears) handle the output of one or two LM2500 gas turbine engines putting out up to 20,000 bhp each. AR AR AR!
