Now that I think about it, this can be modded to avoid getting a precise range estimate from the watch officer. Open up your menu.txt file and go to line 4616, and paste in the following text:

4616=Nearest visual contact at bearing %03.0f!

Now your watch officer will report the bearing but not give a precise range. It's not the best solution (better would be to have the "long/medium/short range" text), but this will do for now.
