Why was this "relieved" petty officer still relaying orders down the chain of command?
At 1:00, Ramius berates a petty officer "You're relieved" as quoted below.
But at 1:10, you can see that same officer relaying Ramius's new order down the chain of command, so how was he "relieved"? This scene doesn't fit this Quora answer.

Why was this “relieved” petty officer still relaying orders down the chain of command?
Why not?
Although "relieved" (of what isn't actually clear) he's now obeying (or at least merely relaying) orders instead of questioning them.
Obviously the scene is intended to ratchet tension and indicate that Ramius' tactical awareness and knowledge is superior to his junior officers.
In real life it's likely that the relieved officer would have been told to leave the bridge/control room pending disciplinary proceedings.
