This is the kind of thing that really does get easier over time.

And there's also a keyboard command that orders the boat to head for whatever you're looking at - someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the = key. So you point your binocs (or the UZO or the periscope) at something and hit that key and your course will change to head straight for that spot.

Altho in the case of a moving ship, typically if you head straight for it when you spot it in that way, by the time you get there it will be somewhere else. Usually it's best to head for somewhere ahead of it on its projected course.
