For a single ship, I can use Kuikueg's method to deduce course and range using bearing info from hydrophone only. But I am having issues with a convoy. There are many ships in a convoy. It is hard to pinpoint the exact bearing for a single ship. So is there a better way to get a pretty accurate course and range info on a convoy at long range? My usual method is to get course and range info at very long range then sprint ahead along the course to lie in wait.
