I ran across this excellent (but long) Royal Navy video about lookouts. The US Navy was slightly different. They used a 360 degree system for bearings instead of the red/green terminology. About 22 minutes into the video they discuss sighting a U-Boat periscope and torpedo wakes. About 43 minutes in they discuss steps for preparing for nighttime lookout duty.
