Need Raycast2d to point where my ship is looking

making a 2d go around gamealt text I need a raycast2d to always point where the ship is pointing. The problem is that it always points to the right, left, up or down but not where my ship is pointing.

      public float Velocity = 20;
      public LayerMask wathtoHit;
      public float maxRayDistance = 25;
  
      void Update()
      {
  
          if(Input.GetKey("a")){
           transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, Vector3.back, Velocity * Time.deltaTime);
       }
  
               if(Input.GetKey("d")){
           transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward, Velocity * Time.deltaTime);
       }
           if(Input.GetButton("Fire1")){
               print("shot");
           }
  //this is where its called the function  saying to position of the ray on the ship and where to point the ray
           raycast(transform.position, Vector2.***!WheredoIPoint?!***);
      }
  
  
  
  
  
  void raycast(Vector2 origin, Vector2 direction){
  
          //Ray2D ray = new Ray2D(transform.position, transform.position);
           RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(origin, direction, maxRayDistance, wathtoHit);
  
           Debug.DrawLine(origin, direction + Vector2.up * maxRayDistance, Color.red);
  
           if(hit.collider != null){
               print("hit something" + hit.collider.name);
           }
  }
