So you missed the point actualy:rotfl:
The point is you don t have to calculate anything
Think in term of useful information.
When you re changing your course, what the important thing you want to know? where you are or where you want to go? Where you want to go of course... so your helm officer is giving you your heading. You don t need to calculate anything.
When your watch officer is reporting a contact, what is the more important thing to know right now? Where s it going or where is it? Where it is of course... so the watch officer is giving you the bearing of the contact.
You don t have to mixed heading and bearing consideration before ploting your interception path actualy.
