The part of your question that is tough is, Stopped as in the props are stopped? Or as in the entire ship is at a stop?
Because to stop the props, takes some time, then shift to reverse and restart props to stop momentum takes a lot longer! You must remember the Mount has no transmissions. It is a direct reversing powerplant, so it goes Forward, All stop, then reverse.
At top speed you are talking almost a 1/4 mile to stop all forward motion.
