I know the conversion tables are used to calculate how fast a ship is going and how fast you need to be to arrive just in time. But how do you use them in a step by step fashion? Them being in German doesn't help either lol.

The tables won't be much help without knowing how to plot an intercept. If you're not familiar with how to do that, this is a good way though some steps can be omitted if desired. Steps 1-8 are the main part to know.

Once an intercept point is known, its a simple matter of using the tables to determine how long the target and how long your boat will take to get there.
