Well fine. Take recognition manual again. Browse trough the pages. Slowly. Watch the target pass the point where I intended to send a few eels at him. Browse some more. No, it's not a coastal merchant or a sloop, it's a bloody tanker! Here, I found it!

...Nevermind, it's 2km away already.
I've found that the recognition manual is one of the few things that actually works while the game is paused. Unless it has something to do with my realism settings, you can probably pause, reset the target type, unpause, and confirm the range without losing the target.
