Clearly, this is not "maneuvering" in the normal sense, but it is
altering speed and perhaps direction and thus shows that they do not
have to be considered absolutely at the top of the pecking order.
In fact, Otn's very claim that the NUC should anchor is
acknowledging that the NUC *is* expected to maneuver, since
anchoring would alter its speed.


HUH?


You heard me.

Why wouldn't dropping anchor be considered maneuvering? Its altering
speed. Once you admit that the NUC has that responsibility, your
story unravels like a cheap sweater!
