will remain on you until you spend an action flipping it facedown (or flip it with another ability, like Chewbacca). If you are stressed and you cannot perform your action after your maneuver, then that's just it: you don't perform any actions, and thus don't get a chance to flip it facedown.

That's not the only way for a card like Major Hull Breach to stay faceup though: imagine you're not stressed, but you really need a target lock this round to fire a missile. So you perform the target lock action instead of the Major Hull Breach action. The crit stays faceup, but you have your target lock (and hopefully you live to use it). Even with a Major Hull Breach have your full range of choice of which actions to perform, unless or some similar effect restricts your choices.
