Icon11 What's the function of the structure in the stern

Hi guys, i'v been wondering what's the meaning of such a structure, some US fleet and Japanese Sub got this one while other didn't. Anyone has some knowledge about it?

You know of course we frown upon people giving away official secrets. Good cooks are valuable assets. Not-so-good cooks? They get what they deserve.

I'm glad you're not confused. I'm always confused myself.
