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.

How do you put a negative bearing into a compass?
To input a negative bearing into a compass, first convert the negative bearing into a positive angle by adding 360 degrees (if necessary) to bring it within the 0-360 degree range. For example, a bearing of -30 degrees becomes 330 degrees. Then, align the compass to this positive angle, using the compass housing to set the desired bearing. Finally, use the compass to navigate according to the adjusted angle.
