One note about the rod antenna for functional purposes: the rod antenna was a vhf type and only worked for short range, line-of-sight communications such as ship-to-ship; it was the jumping wires going fore and aft from the tower that provided long range comms, so I'm not sure the antenna rod was ever deployed while submerged...

Here's an old subsim post about the availability of the different models of radar and radar detectors (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//arc...p/t-94024.html).
There is three sets of Periscopes in the UBoot_Sensors.GR2/SIM
1. Standard Periscope Set
2. Extended Height Periscope Set
3. Extended Height with Twisty Wires to reduce wake/splash Periscope Set

I have seen pics of boats using the Standard and Twisty Wire Periscopes. Hard to tell about the other option is it would look the same as standard
