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!
