Possibly this needs doing, it's certainly a more intuitive interface that anyone can grasp in an emergency, and ISTR the leaked report (can't find it just now) mentions the senior PO on the bridge having to replace the seaman at either the wheel or engine controls in the middle of the attempted evasion, but it doesn't deal with the proximate cause of the accident, which was the Fitzgerald's dysfunctional command staff, and poor crew training, meaning they were incapable of maintaining proper situational awareness in a busy sealane.
