Woody - In general, I watch escort movements from the attack map while submerged and "blind" so to speak. I then plot a solution to where the ship will eventually be so the escort enters the path of the torpedo. Keep in mind 10 knots is 17 feet per second, so using this as a reference, along with range and target speed, it is easy to plot a solution. Basically, you are shooting out into the open ocean, but the escort will cruise right into the torpedo....
