There is no greater pleasure in SH3 than a surface attack at close range followed by an undetected escape on the surface. Unfortunately the restrictions of the game mechanics does not really allow the kind of attack you described, except in zero visibility conditions pre-radar. At least to my knowledge. Different megamods of SH3 have different visibility settings.
For those of you players who'd like to try the techniques Zosimus described, but without the contacts showing on the map, this manual might be of help:

Oh, and I found this site with video lectures on vectors and maneuvering board work. In the first clip showing how to use a mobo for getting the true course of the target and its relative motion takes about 30 seconds, the rest is repetition and basics:
