How do I combat?

I bought Sunless sea this month, and I'd like to start by saying I've never played a computer game before, so while exploring and trading island to island is fairly intuitive from playing Fallen London, I think that my lack of experience with shooting/aiming games prevents me from anything beyond trying to run away from every monster that appears.
When one appears, the battle icon lights up, but too often the loading progress gets blocked out and I can only ever fire off a shot by stopping in the waters and waiting for the monster to remain within range, which doesn't seem quite right. Is there a method for engaging with an enemy, even if the ship is facing away from them or if they're going out of the range of your prow light? It seems that you can't shoot with that light off, but with the light on they come too fast for the guns to load, so I'm not sure if I should be trying to trade for a new boat without engaging with any enemies.
It's incredibly frustrating not being able to turn and fight when the loading icon just stops. I've figured out that you can sort of fire at things even if the head of the ship isn't facing them, and even so, those two arrows by its side still confound me with their mysterious purpose, which really weren't the mysteries that I wanted to be faced with when I started. Any help would be appreciated!
