A "Turm" is a tower. The conning (steering/commanding) tower is the part of the U-Boot, where the commanding officer directs the U-Boot.

In German it's simply called "Turm" - without any further concretization.

A ship has a conning bridge, in German the official term is "Kommandobruecke" - command bridge - but more than often only referred to as "Bruecke".
