It's been a while since I did that in a Fleet boat(which I assume we're talking about here), but as far as I remember there were no special steps involved. Instead of using the stadimeter to get a range, which you can't do without locking, you'd just manually roll the indicator to some estimate and hit send-to-tdc. This also sends bearing. Then you'd just make sure speed is correct, zero for a stationary target naturally, and fire. For greater accuracy, unless you have radar or active sonar ranging data available, I'd recommend aiming for a zero gyroangle shot. As you probably know this takes range out of the equation completely.
