First you spot it in the scope.

Plot the range and AOB and make an extended course line.

Now take hydrophone bearings with 3.15 min seperation = speed (IF he continues his course...)

You are para-phrasing too much.

"Using a single periscope observation of a target ship, compute all the variables necessary for an accurate torpedoe firing solution: Range, Speed, and AOB (Angle on the Bow)"

Useing hydrophones to "nail the speed" is not useing a "Single periscope observation... [to] compute all the variables".
