A direct hit could roast the men outside and damage the radio antenna.
The radio antenna has to be grounded to function properly ; that ground also serve to deflect lightning strikes.

As for the men, should the conning tower be it, it would act as a Farraday's cage. But I suspect that in lightning conditions, they'd have the antenna or scope up to act as a lightning rod.
