Distance is mostly not the problem until you are 10km away .
The most important in targeting is target speed, which is also only one factor which you have to get if you are firing to target with 90 AoB, which is easiest way how to hit target.
Here is the theory behind it

That's very difficult thing, i dont know anybody who does it.
There are better ways how to target ship while you are moving.
Check this

My recommendation for newbies to targeting is to stick with Dick o' Kane's technic until you are becoming comfortable in sinking.
You'll get very satisfying outcome very quickly, so there's smallest chance you'l become bored and frustrated.
Its something like sniper shot, you can hit easily very small spot on ship with it since you'll master it.

Then start with simple trigonometry rules like calculating target future distance in moment of fire based on current angle on bow and bearing...
