Thank you Dave, I learn something new every day.

All my life I thought the upper structure pictured here
was a conning tower, but found out recently it is a
"sail." A conning tower is a compartment inside a sail.
All large submarines have a sail but only older ones also
have a conning tower. In newer submarines, the functions of
a conning tower have been taken over by another portion
of the sub. At least I think that is what I learned.
