1) track radar target
2) calc time, speed, distance, and course.
3) plot 90° to target course.
4) measure distance to target course
5) Plot 11,000y (5.4nm) from me on enemy course line
6) measure AOB from that point
7) input speed, AOB, distance in TDC
8) watch target pass 11,000y mark
9) activate PK
10) adjust speed and range as necessary
11) let the fish swim.

All triangles add up to 180 so even if it is not a 90° intercepts all you need to do is, AOB = 180 - (course intercept angle + RB to target)

It is a very accurate method, I only use the periscope to refine the final solutions and ID the target.
I see what you are doing, I can follow from 3 to 11.

But how do you calculate 2 from the Radar? Do you plot it on the map?
