Submarine Command by Ben Bryant was originally published as One Man Band in 1958.Being a real fan of the RN submarine service i have both books!It is largely a book of his wartime memoirs but it does contain a chapter he calls technical interlude in which he describes penetrating a screen and getting into a firing position.This book is based on WW2 submarines and straight running torpedoes.It has some diagrams but no complex formulae.Bryant was sinking ships by eye not by a tactical computer.Some of his methods can be gleaned from the rest of the text.For basic skimmer sinking it is a good read.
