"Ship spotted" text missing

Sometimes there is a delay between the "schiff gesichtet" and the report of range and bearing, occasionally long enough to be annoying. I don't know why that is. Eventually I always get the full report, though, either by waiting or clicking.

I get that too, and it's annoying.
If it doesn't come with a bearing and range, I'd rather not hear it.

Can a sound file be removed to shut them up, without compromising the boats safety?
(IE, so only the WO is audable, and not the watch crew).
If so, it would also fix the Continuous Ship Spotted/Sighted, permanently.
