They look like the acoustically transparent covers for sonar scanners, but painted white for some reason.

I think on the sail they are painted white but hey it could also be done to pick it out. It is in the early stages. One of the photos shows a model of the finished complex. Will be good when it is done.

Those are some nice pictures!

Another Tango class submarine open to the public can be found in Hamburg, not too far away from the Typ XXI in Bremerhaven. Other very interesting boats are the Juliett and Oberon subs in Peenemünde and Sassnitz on the island of Rügen.
