I notice this sometimes. I've always assumed it was because the ship was off in a direction where one of the four watch crew spotted it first, and called it out... then the WO repeats it.

Sometimes there is a delay between the "schiff gesichtet" and the report of range and bearing, occasionally long enough to be annoying. I don't know why that is. Eventually I always get the full report, though, either by waiting or clicking.
