Definition of 'runout bearing'

Actually, definition of 'bearing' at any point in the map.

I look at the settings for a torp, and I see a default bearing of 000, I read that as 'it enters the water, and goes straight forward on whatever bearing it dropped at'.

Or does '000' mean 'due North'? (As if the torp has a compass)

Basically, are bearings in this context relative, or absolute? I can't seem to figure it out from the manual. Is the answer the same for both air-dropped torps, and for snapshot bearings out of subs?
