Constant Bearing Method, with TDC

If you are firing at zero bearing, all you have to do is make sure that your lead angle is at least large enough that is equals or exceed the distance (i.e. yards/meters) the target can travel over a 3 minute interval? For example, if the target is travel 10 kts, covering 1,000 yds. over 3 minutes, and you want to have impact at a zero degree bearing, the firing point is as follows:

For a target approaching from your port side, the firing point is that point

1. on the target's course where the angle, created by running down the course line 1,000 yds. from the point where the imaginary line extending from the zero bearing crosses the target courses,
2. intersects with the firing point?
