All things considered, a boat will turn much like a plane(both are moving in a fluid medium). Slower=tighter turn(ie : turn radius smaller) down to the speed where the rudder loose authority. Faster will equal larger radius but also faster rate(ie how fast the bow will displace in regard to the horizon in degree per minute) up to where it'll start to slip through the turn.

To the OP. A formation choosing ability would be nice, as would be pre-programmed evasive. Yet I'm not convinced it need such an overhaul since it do work nicely right now soooooo.... ±0  :D

 :huh What about the Battleships? I mean heavy cruisers are a big boat with big guns, but, the Battleship had a rather large impact on the Naval aspect of WW2. The Germans had the Bismark and the Japanese had the Yamato? or something like that. <~~~ sorry, shoulda did some research before I posted this. Anyways, it would be cool to have BIG guns blazing in a ship to ship battle, don't ya think? :O

straight up and simple, the ability for the task group manager to change naval fleet formations in a CV group. Example, enemy CV to your left? Order your fleet to change formation and move your destroyers along side the left of the CV to bare arms and fire all salvos.
