Your sonar ( or radar if installed yet ) never picked those ships up. They were reported by other craft ( probably a plane ) at a certain time, heading and speed when spotted. Left click on the ships icon ( or Convoy/Task force ) and a circle with the info will be shown. Calculate the distance from you ( and the time of day ) to see if it is worth your going after said ship/ships. There speed usually is: Slow= 6 Kts, Medium= 9 Kts and Fast= 12 Kts.
