That correct - throttle control should not be split between consoles. I don’t believe that’s even possible - it was not in the system I worked on. I suspect the article is not exactly correct in this. The controls normally are ganged so they don’t have to be individually changed but for maneuvering individual screws can be commanded separately on the same console if they are not ganged together.
- jpindar 7y agoThere's a control location drop-down above each of the two throttles, which implies they can be split.

The article says: "As the years passed, Northrop Grumman continued to make improvements to the system. That meant that controls on one ship might not look exactly like controls on another. It was like hopping from the driver’s seat of a Ford truck into a Mercedes-Benz roadster. Sailors could adjust. But it took a while to get a feel for the different controls — and on a fully armed warship, no less."
