Has anyone tried to shoot "blind", ie., using only data from the hydrophones for bearing and active sonar for range to develop a shooting solution? While ahistorical, it seems like it would be perfectly possible.

On entry into the war the brass with USN was sold on your idé.
From where the big shots were sitting, it worked well on paper.
From where the subs were laying, it worked not at all in practice.
