If it's a single contact you can employ some advanced tricks figure out it's course and range by sound alone, but at the ranges you hear in these old boats its usually not necessary. The technique is mostly useless against a convoy as it requires you to track a specific sound contact at regular intervals over a long period of time.
From an interest point: How do you determine range based on the hydrophone? Triangulation or what?
