There is a lot more to the story of U-864. The U-boat mission was to transport several key technology to the Japanese by way of Norway and the Arctic Circle to Japan. Aboard the U-boat were plans and components for the Jumo 004 turbojets along with 2 engineers from Messerschmitt, guidance components for V-2 ballistic missiles, 2 Japanese technicians trained in Germany and 67 tons of liquid mercury. When the wreck of U-864 was located in 2003, it was discovered that the poisonous liquid mercury was leaking into the surrounding ocean floor forcing the Norwegian government in 2017 to entomb the underwater wreck in 160,000 tons of sand and rock to contain the leak. BTW: the HMS Venturer did not just stumble on the U-864. The British knew of its mission and location because they had broken the Enigma code and deliberately sent the Venturer to ambush it.

It's due to the fact the Torpedo solution computer was linked to the periscope's head directional bearing, So by using the hydrophone they were able to get the bearing, The periscope then just needs to be pointed towards the target bearing. As for bringing up the periscope, that is due to the fact that when a submarine's periscope is retracted it remaining locked in position and can't move.

What I simply don’t get is the video showing Launders using his periscope. He wouldn’t have. The very point is that the German submarine was submerged; Launders was using a combination of the original sighting, hydrophones, and dead reckoning. He calculated a firing solution blind and in three dimensions. That’s why he’s a legend.

This would also explain how the British sub was able to estimate how deep the German sub might be since the height of the snorkel is limited. In WW2 battery powered electric motors could only propel a sub slowly which is why using the diesel when barely submerged is preferable since it would allow faster underwater speed compared to batteries.
