Carriers are indeed very fast, but they still suffer from inertia. An emergency stop is achieved by putting the prop into reverse. In my limited RCNC work experience (admittedly many years ago), the only way of stopping a carrier doing 35 knots in its own length is by running into something bigger and heavier.
