The angle of the bow is measured as if you are stood on the ship taking the measurement.

<-------direction of ship-------------------X---(ship)

The angle is from the ship course to your position, about 80 deg in this case.
Then you have the lead angle to add for the solution. Ideally you should be traveling that course so you get a straight shot.
So you will probably have a resolution of about 90 deg with the 10 deg lead angle which is were the ship will be on impact marked with X
