Whats that vertical pole that the chief engineer hangs on to?
I've been wondering this since I first got into my command room. It that vertical pole he hangs onto when the boats rocking. It has some kind of universal joint near the top.
What does this turn? Its some kind of driveshaft |

I guess it is there for stability. Or safety that you don't break your back. The Kaleun had to had an overview of the situation and the chief gave the orders to the plane mans. So they had to stand up, making that poll during a depth-charging very much usefull!

I believe that is the drive shaft that raises and lowers the Loop Antenna.
