Dunno about RFB, but in the stock game the L key is "LOCK", which centers the target and brings up the arrow. Again, never tried RFB, but in the stock game that invasion force is a bad one for a n00b - there are several of them around Luzon at the beginning of the war, and they wander all over the ocean like a bunch of drunken ducks who can't decide where they're going. Trying to line up on them is like trying to get milk from a male ostrich sometimes. I would head elsewhere and find a sane task force that doesn't skitter around like waterbugs.
As for the visual range, if you have map contact updates enabled you can click on a ship and see a circle around it, that's the average visual detection distance, about 5500 yards with normal visibility. Sometimes they'll see you further away, bad weather and/or night you can get closer.
