The ship has variable pitch props, two shafts, and turbines. It ought to have a reasonable amount of maneuverability without any rudder input.

Maybe crew was inept at performing loss of rudder procedure.

Not to be cynical, but whatever happened, it will be blamed on the captain and XO, who will be relieved of command, and not on the admirals and political leaders who have been more concerned with gender and transgender equity than operational efficiency.

Could the rudder have been locked to one side?
