Yes, and when you get caught speeding on the interstate, tell the state trooper that your accelerator stuck and became unstuck after he turned on his lights.

There are maintenance requirements to test what is called “aft steering”, located in the machinery room for the rudders. I was on aircraft carriers, but I would think the testing requiremnts to ensure the aft steering control function properly would be similar on a destroyer.

TROOPER: Why were you going so fast?

DRIVER: Because my foot was on the floor.
