Hi!
impressive hydrophone hunt, nefeladamon!
I still prefer the passive sonar only approach method proposed by joegrundman. I have rewritten it because I found some parts a little confusing.
The reason why I prefer it is basically you don't need to surface at all (if you are ahead enough of the target
) to get a good estimate of the target's position and course. Whereas your method involves surfaced flanking as a conditio sine qua non.
Please have a look at my rewrite, comments very much welcome!

I this folder you will also find joegrundman's original guide and the altered rear side of the 1943 SACF, altered to show meters.
