I guess it depends.

Real world, its not like you're shifting gears from the helm.
All you're doing is turning the dial on the announceator which makes the pointer move on a similar dial back in Maneuvering.
Its up to the throttleman to see the new order and turn the "big wheel" to drive the screw, just like when you give a spoken order to "make turns for X knots".

So, I guess you can assume that you have a sharp throttleman back aft who knows you want to slow down fast.
