One does it with sonar. It's not radar, but it is a way to get a bearing on the other guy when he is over the horizon. Further, if one has two or more lines of bearing, does a running fix, then they could have a range, position, and perhaps a course.
Here's the catch: Iowas don't have sonar; Kirovs do, hull mounted and VDS.
