Here we see:

A Messerschmitt KR200

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

A very big ship

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

These may have something in common.

Both can go backwards.

Both can go nearly as fast this way as forwards.

Neither has a reverse gear (ships vary but this is true for many of them)

So, what shared method do they use for travel astern?

Reverse the engine rotation? Just guessing here.

Reversing their engines?

Restarting the engine in the opposite direction?

Tug boats?

Yes, that's what they do. You can with a two stroke.

Yes, a speciality of two strokes (although it's apparently possible with a four stroke).
