Dumb Lookouts-torpedo Warnings Only From Red Xxx?

I noticed that the torpedo warnings only use "torpedo incoming red xxx degrees (relative from your ships heading) eg off the bow, but shouldn't they say: green if incoming from starboard ?

i cant remeber that this has been mentioned before...

but it would be easier for us captains to know from which side of the bow the torpedo is actually incoming, especially for DDs and anything that is a little slow on turning.

Scorchy.

this is also the way lights must be shown (internationally) at night on ships

port = red, starboard = green.

They should indeed be Green to Starboard and Red to Port - we'll look at that..it was fixed at some point.

Also... doesn't happen all the time but every once in a while I'll see the message that the torpedos are coming from the port and I look to the port and wham I get hit from the starboard side instead. Again, this doesn't happen all the time but a couple of times I've noticed this.
