On a similar vein, what are the objects on the radio antennas on the type IXB. The things that look like shaped floats.

I thought they were simply there to hang the tonnage flags from when coming back to port!
Seriously I always thought they were "anti-entanglement cables". Chuck |

Well I may be wrong but I think they create a series of vorticies in the
water to allow a smoother hydrodynamic flow around the conning tower but Im not really certain. I know that in the game their just eyecandy and perform no function. |

 According to my own findings, Brag is right. These are insulators placed on the antenna itself.

This was a bloody good question to start with
This was a bloody good question to start with (thankyou Kobal2). I've been reading U-Boat books for about five years now, and playing/modding this game since it came out, and all this time I thought the cables were for supporting the conning tower/structure during heavy pressure dives.
Well there you go, I learnt something today, its been a good day !
