Emergency Deep would be nice, and it's just not a depth order, it's a command phrase. it's one of those things that only the O.O.D or Capt will say.
When Emergency Deep is commanded, the Dive orders the plansman to take the boat to 150 feet, helmsman orders up 2/3 bell, Chief of the Watch will flood depth control tanks.
As a matter of fact, when coming up to periscope depth, if the OOD says anything other than "No close contacts" the ships control party will automatically take emergency deep actions without the actual command.
DW changes depth a little too casually.
