What would a thermometer have been used for on a U-Boat?

Determining whether that giant can on the end makes it float or makes it sink would probably be a good start.

If it sinks... maybe it was dropped on a long line to detect thermal layers in the water?

If it floats... that's a bit trickier. Most small, important things on ships and boats have some precautions so they don't sink so it could be used for a number of things.
