Default turn turn turn

Google 'destroyer turning radius' and be amazed!, it was an important issue but in watching the videos of various vessels from destroyers to destroyer escorts the turn diameter at speed is approx. 3x the length of the vessel involved; variances involved putting two rudders on or extending the size of the rudder etc. Good luck
