Also, note that your course is a True Bearing and that the contact is at a Relative Bearing (Relative bearing is based on your ship's orientation, ie. 90 degrees is always directly the right of your ship and 270 is always directly to your left, etc.)

Yep, or another way - Relative bearing is what you see at periscope, absolute bearing is the same + your current course.
