I'm not a Navy vet but have some boat experience. I'm guessing here but the ship may be much less manuverable if haveing one turbine down means having one shaft inoperable. That could be unacceptable in the tight confines of the Panama Canal. By turning one shaft forward and one in reverse a ship can virtually turn in it's own length. Running on one shaft means they have to have a LOT of opposite rudder just to go straight and the ships steering would be less predictable. Not a good thing in the tight confines of a canal. A mishap would be very expensive and would not look good on the captains record.
