Surprisingly quickly.

In 1986/7 the QE2 was re-engined and this included adding controllable pitch (CP) functionality to her gigantic propellors that allow immediate reverse power to be available.

She can slow from 30 knots (she still is the fastest liner in the world) to a half knot in 3 minutes, which takes one mile. 12 minutes later she will be doing 19 knots astern.
