A question about U-Boat Deck Guns

Ok, so, when a U-Boat is submerged like so, do they prep the deck guns and AA guns in anyway?

From what I know about conventional weaponry (I'm talking about infantry weapons, rifles, handguns, ect.) if they get wet, they don't work so hot afterwards.

So I was curious as to how these big deck guns and stuff could have an extended stay under 80+ meters of saltwater, only to surface and begin blasting away.

Just something I'm curious about. Do they cork these things off?

Thanks in advance, guys!
