The values after the ';' are the original values, and are commented out by the ';'.

Concerning your original complaint, that ships are not seen even when quite close:
The quality of the crew in general (including the lookouts) is determined by their experience.
If you have an inexperienced crew, they will see very little. If you have a very experienced crew (at sea for years), they will report ships which you cannot see yourself (except, perhaps, as a shadow, when using binoculars.)
