The relative bearing of the target from the bow of the submarine. Ie. straight ahead is 0°, moving from left to right is 90° etc.

Angle on the bow is the angle between the line of sight and the target's bow measured to port and starboard of the target's bow from 0 degrees to 180 degrees. It's difficult to describe it better, but there's an extract from the US Submarine Torpedo Fire Control Manual 1952 which has pictures:

The alternative version is that it's the measurement of your own bow from the periscope / centreline of the ship. If it's more than 0 degrees, you have had an accident: As demonstrated by the USS Growler. This measurement does not help with the other angle on the bow collision warning:
