That's the only one of your suggestions I disagree with. The captain never tells the engine room crew to switch from diesel to electric. The captain gives the order to dive, the engine crew makes the switch immediately, the officer of the deck (duty watch officer) keeps an eye on the 'christmas tree' and reports all hatches confirmed shut. Then they dive. All the captain does is give the main order.

You might as well have him cook dinner for everyone.
