Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward.
Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you.
The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier.
This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
