I used to use the following formula:
speed (kts.) = .59 target length (ft.) / time(sec.) + sub speed(kts.) * sin target bearing
if your sub and target are going in opposite directions then the last term sub speed(kts.) * sin target bearing is subtracted.

They may even try using them to send a man to the moon, can you believe that? It's totally nuts!
