All ships are equipped with variable pitch propellors (larger ocean going vessels)
No reverse gear or so there
Reverse or stopping or sailing backwards when mooring or before anchoring are done by changing pitch.

No auto or armed thrust reversers on aircraft.
At least not on Boeing or Airbus.

Never heard of reverse thrusters.
Allthough I was a fan of science fiction when Star Wars was a new movie

cheers
