A 4600ton frigate (M-class or Karel Doorman, RNLN) will go to top-speed (roughly 29 knots) in under 2 minutes and will stop itself in 1 boat length by going full reverse on the pitch of the proppellors. Been there, done that.

This should give you a nice view of the manouvrebility (dreadful word btw) of todays frigates.
