I'm a little ashamed to be asking this as it feels like a dumb question, but I can't track down the answer.

Is the rotating ring on my conning tower the radio antenna or the hydrophone? I know its not the radar as I don't have that yet, and that looks like a mesh affair.

Let me off just this once. I consider myself to be reasonably well informed on U-boat anatomy (apart from this)
