I looked closely at all the diagrams in the Fleet-type Submarine manual, and there are no ballast, trim or drain lines in the conning tower. It might be the line to the depth-guages, as I think they need water pressure to work, but then they probably would contain none while surfaced.
I'm starting to think it's the 'movie' line, specifically designed to spray water when damaged, thereby giving the crew something cool-looking to do in an emergency.
