Am I Manually Targeting or am I kidding myself??

OK I just answered that I used manual targeting in another thread, and the more I'm reading now, the more I'm wondering if I actually am (obviously I'm a n00b). I'm still in the naval academy mind you.

1) The target is spotted
2) I open the book, find the ship listed, check the lil box that says what type of ship it is.
3) Go to notepad, click range, click at the waterline in the scope, click the target in the bottom left hand corner, click the top of the mast, click the check in the box.
4) Click AOB, click where I am in relation to the ship in the overhead diagram, click the check in the box.
5) Click "speed", lock the scope on the target, click the stopwatch, wait 10-15 seconds, the little stopwatch in the lower left corner, click the check in the box, unlock the scope.
6) Go back to the notepad, click the check in the box on the pad.
7) Click the tube I intend to fire, click fire.
8) Miss target 90% of the time and say damn damn damn and chalk it up to being new and needing practice.

So the 2 questions are - is that manual targeting and....am I doing it correctly and just need practice?

I'm sure I'm missing something but any help would be appreciated.
thx all!
