The regular lookouts don't give the bearing and range because they're reporting it to the Watch Officer, and he can see it because they're pointing at it. When he reports it to you he does give both. I've always liked the way that works.
Of course you have to kick him in the pants to get him to go to his post, but that's another problem.
