Steering a 1000 ft ship happens minutes before the action desired. For a ship that size, it could take 40 seconds from rudder stop to rudder stop. Once they lost power it was probably game over. You don't have much of any steering when you order astern propulsion when moving 8 knots ahead and bow thrusters are useless at that speed. This isn't a car man, you have little idea what you are asking.
I’ve steered a 300-foot sailing ship the S/V Fantome (maybe wasn’t supposed to be doing so but oh well). It took 20-30 seconds or so for her to respond to the helm at approximately 8 knots. I believe I was executing a 30-degree course change
On the water things happen slowly, there are no brakes, the accelerator is dicey, and the steering wheel is vague. Then the jib boom bout clocks you in the head…
