tracking/intercept question

When I am out to sea and my navigator guy says something like "ship bearing 123, closing, long range" and I have that line that is the direction of the ship but not one of those square marks on the map, and I measure with the protractor do i measure the 123 angle from my ship or where that line ends or my best guess of there the ship is in regards to the line and "long range"? I seem to see these lines and unless I fluke out and run right into the ship/convoy I never meet them and they typically see me before I see them. I have spent sometimes over 7 in game days just driving around, seeing lines, trying to find the ships from these lines only to not find the ship and starting over, it becomes very frustrating.

I watched the tutorial about intercepting when there is the square )ghost ship?) on the map but what if there is no square. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
