Correct. Some of the info is off in the RFB manual by design. I know of at least one warship in particular that doesn't follow the 'distance reference point' outline above. But by using sonar and/or radar, you can establish the proper reference point for stadimeter range.
I know it works because I have bagged this particular ship several times!
