YES!. Devs.. This please!
As a qualified throttleman I can ASSURE you that we would NOT cavitate on a bell change unless ORDERED to do this. If cavitation was to occur the EOOW would notify conn that they were cavitating. They would then acknowledge the report and order us to continue to answer the bell.
If you got the bell change with the a ring of the engine order telegraph (a cavitate button I guess) that would indicate a order to answer the ordered bell without regard to cavitation.
Example: When conn ordered ahead flank for torpedo evasion we would get the OET to Ahead Flank with 3 rings of the OET bell. That was our clue to stand on the power.
