The compass is for plotting your course and/or taking a bearing. It's anchored at your submarine ... so, when you drag it out to where you want to go (or where your target is positioned), the true heading/bearing can be read along the plotted line.
That happens because the compass rose is backward. Else, you'd need to first draw the line and then, afterward, use the compass to measure the line. That would work okay for bearings but would make it difficult to plot a specific course.
