"VisualDamage" controller, counts hit points. The hit points are found in the "ColisionableObject" controller and in the "Zones.cfg" file.
The turms have hit points in "Zones.cfg" (31=TowerWatch), but "VisualDamage" controller maybe read hit points only from "ColisionableObject" controller and the turms don't have this controller, only submarine's body have it.

Just speculate, I don't have time for tests.

If you add a "ColisionableObject" controller in the .zon file of the turm, the submarine becomes uncontrolable. So, it's not possible to add damage texture to the sub-objects, I guess...

It is definitely possible. I know there were mods Made for the player sub which had the conning Tower destroyable.
