If you mean the main induction inlet, that opened up in the conning tower fairwater, aft end (induction pipe was about 16-inches in diameter). The induction valves were in the pressure hull, at the top of the engine rooms. The big 16" pipe was under the casing, snaking along the pressure hull and up into the fairwater, where it would be protected from spray and waves. Exhaust could be closer to the water line, since it was outgoing gases under pressure, and had backflow preventer valves to stop water from getting in.
P.S. you can see some idea of the induction piping in the
first pic here
