Usually one would give a command to NAV about course and speed:
"Steuermann, Kurs 234, beide Maschinen 1/3 voraus"

Auf Manöverstationen! [Man maneuvering stations!]
Beide Maschinen: Langsame Fahrt voraus! [Both engines: ahead slow!]


P.S. Mr. Babelfish's german is horrible
What do you mean Mr. Babelfish's german is horible????? Who is he?
In fact: what's wrong with
"Let go, fore and aft!" (To the deck crew)
"Klar zum Ablegen, vorn und achtern: Leinen los"
Then why not: "Take her out Chief. Both engines ahead slow"
Ihren Leiter ausführen. Beide Maschinen voran verlangsamen.
