1. The document provides instructions for using a 3-bearing AOB finder to determine the angle on the bow (AOB) of a ship at a specific time. 2. It involves taking bearings at three different times, computing the differences between them, and using a protractor-style finder tool to read the AOB based on the bearing differences. 3. Caution is noted that if the ship is moving, the indication provided is the "angle on relative motion" rather than the true "angle on bow."
