i will say however that the gil's engines were not in "Full Reverse" but there are reasons for this, because you loose 90% control if you go from forward velocity and hit full reverse, (not a problem in open waters/ricvers,) but if you have another vessel nearby not reccomended

Look at the video I posted. The Ady Gil clearly accelerated into the path of the Japanese ship.
