Wow, more than 10 in 24. Great response and some really good captions. One thing people missed is that larger ships have thrusters. Propellers or water jets that shoot out to the side. The evil seed in me would have said something would have said, when we get next to the people hit the thruster.
On to Judgement:

Honorable mention goes to Gnu
As a special treat I promised to take the wife cruisin' on down the highway...boy, is she in for a surprise..
[I am seeing a lady that wants to go RVing, I want a boat.]

Third Place goes to the Admiral:
Pilot to land tug. Ahead 1/8th around the bend.
Appropriate use of nautical language.

Second place goes to Sirius B:
Anyone can navigate the Panama Canal, but this is REAL navigation.

And the winner is:
