Philip, I must have missed something here. If I hear the WO say ship at 100 degrees and swing my scope or UZO to 100 degrees this is where I find the ship. From my understanding, this is 100 degrees from the bow(0 degrees) from my boat.

The compass rose I believe is upside down(anyone, correct me if I'm wrong) on this. I always use the compass on the right hand bottom screen to indicate my heading. It has not failed me yet. I recommend not using the compass rose and use the compass and change of heading/rudder compass in the lower right hand corner. There is a little green button next to it that will allow you to change from rudder angle to compass and back. Furthermore, when I have a contact, it is me and them and what senerio I need to lay out to sink the vessel. After a successful attack, I turn my attention back to navigation. Kind of like making the ship and me in my own little world without a N, S, E and W. Just me and the degree off my bow I can find the target.
