Those antennas are actually rather small. I don't know this for a fact (and I'm sure of the Navy vets here could confirm, though probably unable to) you could easily place those types of antennas on a mast. In fact as an ECM guy the near perfect 360 degree search area you get from that is pretty much.

BTW. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes as a newbie here. I've been lurking here for a long time because I love sub stuff and have dabbled with subsims. Though honestly most have been a tad over my head besides RSR. And I don't have the game yet but it seems more up my alley. So yeah, hello!
