The ship decelerated, keeping its place in the column.

Since the ship was still decelerating, the spider-room seemed to fall forwards with increasing speed.

The ship had been decelerating for a long time when she reached that point and kept on sunward toward the orbit of Mars.

The four ships in the globe nearest the Javelin were decelerating under full drive; all the same, it would take them years to get here.

Actually, they weren't, the ship was decelerating to get into an orbit, but the decreasing distance created the illusion of increasing speed.

Since the ship was decelerating, the drive must be on, and these engines had to be working.

The ship would decelerate even faster than it had gathered speed.

The changes had happened during the slow-down phase as the great ship was decelerating into the new system.

The ship accelerates during the first half of the journey and decelerates during the second.

A ship approaching a point thus must decelerate, increasing travel time between points.
