There's 2 factors here. First, the experience and attention to detail required to take an accurate measurement. The second is luck. Some of these ships have a completely incorrect mast height. If your measurement is perfect, the wrong mast height will foul up the trig formula and give you the wrong range anyways.
Edit: Unless duci fixed that since tmo 1.7. I really hope he didn't, as the subs often had incorrect data in real life as well.
