You actually don’t have to plot the heading you are on. You can either use the attack disk, or do the following to get the true bearing to plot on the map. Take 110+310, which gives you 420. Since that is greater than 360, subtract 360, which gives you 60°. That is the true compass bearing to the target that you would plot on the map. Then with a range estimate, you know how far out to plot the point.
Thanks for the help, just to check that Im on the right page:

Now Im on heading 128, just got a report "ship sighted! Bearing 346 Long range"

that means 128+346 = 474 - 360, the heading I need to go is 114? (to go to where the ship is spotted that is)?
