If all you have is sound bearings, analysis can put you on a course where the bearing no longer changes. Once that is achieved, you are on a collision course. The real submariners had a bearing rate analysis graph that they used for that.

The goal is only to find a course where the bearing no longer changes. Then continue until you hear a crash!

You might not know about aaronblood's tools. They are first rate!
