The AOB is the bearing the other ship has your submarine on.
So if a ship is coming directly towards you the AOB will be 0 because they see you on a bearing of 0. If the ship is going away from you the AOB will be 180, because they see you on that bearing.
So in your example, if you would be running directly parallel to a ship, same course, same speed, and you have them on your 90°, the AOB will be 90° port, because the ships captain will see your sub if he looks out of his left window. Hope I could help.
