If you want to know conceptually what the AoB is, then think of yourself standing on the bow of the ship you are targetting. Look to port or starboard until you can see the attacking submarine. That relative bearing to the submarine is the ship's AoB.

I have seen AoB poorly explained, because they use very simplified set ups that give you the impression that the AoB is something that it is not, by using examples of only 'ship due east of you sailing towards you at AoB 0' and 'ship sailing due west away at AoB of 180'.

Hope that helps you visualise what it is you are working out.
