Ships slowing due to damage IRL

It all depends of the captain. Does he want to risk additional damage by keeping speed up or does he stop and see if the damage can be fixed enough to lower the risk of damaging the ship further if continuing to sail.

I think the ideal situation would be that upon impact the engines stop for the captain to get information how bad the damage wether he can continue at same speed or should either stop entirely or lower the speed.
