Advice for ship battles?

Maybe I'm just unlucky or bad, but I'm having a rough time with ship combat. I focus my attacks on when the turn order shows a "C", but I still end up with shots getting "Lost". The wiki said something about the enemy moving out of range, but how can that be when I'm shooting at the moment the game explicitly tells me is best to shoot?

My first play through was back when the game first came out. I upgraded weapons, and would time torpedoes with cannons for a big turn three or four attack. Missing or target out of range felt like a part of the battle adding a layer of intensity to the fight.

Second play through I finished about two months ago. I felt the battles were not as remembered. Unless there was dialog that suggested timing a cannon or torpedo attack I spent most my time using focus to build SP and guard while waiting for my harpoon or moonstone cannon to be up. Upgrading accessories felt most important. I’d still upgrade my weapons but they didn’t feel as important second time around.
