Contact Report Accuracies

I was just wondering if anyone had a reference of what a typical contact report received by a submarine would consist of. Right now the tail on the map is dead-on accurate. Would the report just give a general cardinal direction (i.e. N, S NNW, etc) or would it give a position and heading (i.e. course 170) with an expected accuracy (i.e. +/- 10 deg). Just curious more than anything and drawing the bulls-eye line just isn't much fun
