OK seriously. In Iron Coffins, Herbert Werner gives this series of commands to move his boat from dock:
"Let go bow and stern ropes. Both motors slow astern--rudder amidships."
The boat backs from the pier on electric motors. Then:
"Both stop. Both small ahead, port 20. New course two-eighty."
That's it.

Get ready for departure:
Klarmachen zum Ablegen!
Let go bow and stern ropes. Both motors slow astern--rudder amidships.:
Vorn und achtern: Leinen los! E-Maschinen langsame Fahrt zurück -- Ruder mitschiffs!
Both stop. Both small ahead, port 20. New course two-eighty.:
Beide Stop. Beide langsam voraus, 2 Dez. Backbord, Neuer Kurs 280 Grad.
Personally as a Kaleun I would not issue these orders I would simply say to my navigator: Get us out (of port)!: Bring uns raus!
Cheers
