Yup. Left out. Doesnt work. From my understanding it was all about the active sonar. Now, you can get the targets bearing easily enough through passive, active sonar would ping for distance, the XXI sonar (unless im mistaken) was supposed to estimate target speed as well as distance.

So from there you have
bearing, range, and speed, wtihout ever popping a periscope. Now how they worked out the Angle on the Bow from there is beyond me.
