Is that your signal flare tube? More than likely. It was not intended for decoy but I think was on the table as the launcher if a decoy would become available. It acts like a torpedo tube. I can not find any reference to the decoy actually making use during the war. I have read about shooting out articles from a torp tube. That is about it.
