Судя по британским разборкам, "Бравый" не менял не только ход, но и курс.
After the launch of the first aircraft, a Soviet Kotlin-class destroyer approached the "Ark Royal" on a collision course [b]from the starboard bow[/b]. The carrier took what avoiding action she could and put her engines at full astern, but she was unable to miss the Soviet vessel, [b]whose port quarter struck the "Ark Royal's" port bow[/b].

The "Ark Royal" immediately stopped her night-flying exercise and diverted the aircraft already airborne so that she and her accompanying frigate, H.M.S. "Yarmouth", could undertake, with Russian vessels, a search for Russian crew members who were understood to be in the water. Although some were picked up by the "Ark Royal" and "Yarmouth" and returned to their ship, I regret that two are still believed to be missing. Only minor damage was suffered by the "Ark Royal", and she had no casualties.
