The problem with that school mission is that you are just too close to the target to get all the data you need in just one try. That is why I suggested doing a war patrol, you have more time that way.
When you do the three minute rule, do it twice if you can and connect all the Xs, That line you drew to get speed is also the target course line. You must extend the target course line way out there past your boat.
Put the center of the compass rose some were on the course line ahead of the target and than read the number where the course line crosses the outside of the compass rose. That is the target course in degrees. To get the Aob you need to draw a line from the target to the bow of your boat and measure the angle between that line and the target course line.
The big problem with getting AoB this way is by the time you get it entered into the TDC it is no longer correct as the target has moved from where you just took the measurements and if your boat is also moving the error is even bigger. That is why I suggested the method I use in my earlier post, setting the target course into the TDC instead of just AoB.
On the left top dial the bow of the little ship should point to the target course line you just measured, unless the target changes speed or course that will stay the same.
If you look at pic #6 you posted you can see that the target course line does not match the red line you just drew. That red line is wrong and so is the 65°
If you came up with a speed of 13 knots you did something wrong, the speed as I recall should be 10 knots.
Once you have the speed and the AoB you turn on the PK and than input the data in this order, first speed send to TDC second AoB Send to TDC and last range/bearing and send to TDC twice.
I'll load up the game and take some screen shots.
