The time to position is not necessary, but is
helpful in practice. Knowing this allows one to lower the periscope, instead of leaving it up waiting for
the target to reach the firing bearing. The track range not only provides a run time for the torpedos, but
also gives one an idea of the quality of the set-up, and allows a change in plan to obtain a better range,
if that is indicated.

That's supremely important, and I always read accounts where the skipper would determine the initial setup and on subsequent observations, determine how true the solution was, and make adjustments to fine tune it in.
Very well done, I rated this thread as "Excellent"
