As an emergency system, you could fire drones at the ship that embed or magnetically attach themselves near the water line, to change the flow direction.

Obviously this requires a simulation that you trust to pick a better path and not make things work.

It would be like when you’re in a canoe and need to make an emergency turn and you just jam your paddle over the side and crank on it like a pry bar.

There’s got to be some way of quickly deploying a new fin to a moving ship to change its heading.
