Hmm, I'm not sure I quite understand what exactly is b*****ks with @Chopjocks remark? Reducing the time spent at zero forward speed will reduce the time spent in very unhelpful conditions when encountering a TR drive failure. Any forward speed will unload the TR, thereby reducing torque effect and will additionally increase effectiveness of the fin. At >50kts there is a reasonable fighting chance in case of a TR drive failure. At zero kts not so much.
