The forward batteries would be used for a threat attacking towards the bow of the ship and would be ineffective in an attack from the stern. The correct command would have been "Aft batteries open fire. Aft batteries engage - engage."

Dr. J. Allen Hynek: Well, I didn't. In fact, you are the last person on Earth I wanna see right now.
