Can you figure it out?

Deck vents at 1/72scale, same as the ammo storage in your other thread ;)

The Japanese -- when they participated as a member State of the Axis -- were a people all too willing to put State (and by extension the State endorsed Shinto religion) and Emperor ahead of self. They were the ass-holes who be-headed prisoners, slaughtered Chinese and Filipino women and children wholesale, and slammed manned airplanes and torpedoes into the enemy.

Thank god for the atomic bombs, and men who had the guts to use them!

And lets not forget those who fought them in submarines. My dad was depth charged twice and strafed by aircraft as they sank sixteen Jab ships with their 3" gun. HMS Sibyl patrolled the Malacca Straights and ended up being the first submarine to arrive in Singapore harbour for the Relief of Singapore. My dad saw the deplorable conditions of the British and Australian prisoners held in the infamous Changhi jail. Dad hated the Japs until the day he died. "*******s!" he called them.

But I've said all this before!

Somewhere I read that four shafts were vertical storage mine tubes.

[Von Hilde]

Vertical mine dispensers. They also had them on the tower, and some on the after deck.
these are on the aft deck of u 505

[Von Hilde]

raft is in the starboard fore deck external torpedo storage compartment the four hatches directly a cross from the mine dispensers on a VIIC

Anyone recognize these?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Towed array elements or SOSUS cable splices and an amplifier.

[greenman407]

The caption that went with the picture said, just as you guessed David, towed array pieces and parts.

[greenman407]

Get a load of this! Whadayathink? Phasor emitter? Particle beam projector? WHAT?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Don't know about the antenna. But, see the accommodation ladder. Some idiot had to rig that thing with all the white crap on deck. I would not want to be anywhere near and under those big ice-cubes, just waiting to slide off that turtle-back!

[greenman407]

Man, that cube closest to the camera has got to be five foot thick.

Just a standard death ray! the helix's will rotate and there will be an electronic wee wow wee wow noise. Anyone hit by the ray will glow and their skeleton will be visible, then they will vaporise

Stop it!!!!!

[Von Hilde]

the ladder is for the guys in the dingie taking the picture and the thingie is just a heater coil that melted a hole in the ice, so they could surface and take the picture
