bearing question (and one or two more)

Ok, so I normally do a pretty good job of finding info, be it online or in a manual. But this time I can't seem to find what I need.
So my question:

When my sonar guy gives me a bearing on a new contact, or a torp in the water, is he giving true bearing as indicated by the compass, or relative bearing, where my course represents 000?
Same question with the periscope.

Also, can you use a joystick to control the P-3 or the MH-60?
And can you land an MH-60 manually on the FFG?

thanks in advance!
