My understanding of the ruling is as follows:
The FT rules state that "you may move fighter groups up to 12" in any
direction"
there are no requirments to face the FG in any particular direction at
the end of the move, you can choose which direction it faces.
It was this 'freedom' of positioning that led to the introduction of the
MT fighter movement sequence to make it more difficult for the fighter
group to target a ship.
