Tower area
Explanation:

The tower is built with poles (palos)

Torre
Los submarinos tienen forma de cigarro para que puedan deslizarse suavemente por el agua, pero en el centro hay una torre alta. En los submarinos más antiguos, la torre estaba repleta de equipos de navegación y de otro tipo y a veces se la conocía como torre de mando (porque, históricamente, contenía controles submarinos).

Conning Tower
Also known as the “sail” or “tower,” this is the control center of the submarine. A periscope is located in the conning tower so the submarine can remain completely submerged and still visually see what is on the surface. All of the submarine’s operating systems are controlled and monitored from the conning tower.

De repente, unos palos emergieron a pocos metros del "Matilde Rosa I". Tras los palos apareció una torre alargada y por fin el casco de un submarino. La identificación U-2193 aparecía claramente en el lateral de la enorme torre.

Reference information:
The sail is the streamlined shaped non pressure resistant part of the submarine over the outer hull. Its different types of masts that are deployed from within the submarine when snorkels or sails just under the free surface. The different masts used in a submarine are periscope mast, communications mast, radar mast, weapon sensor mast, etc. These are raised from the bridge fin when the submarine requires surface monitoring in stealth mode. Figure 7 shows the sail in a submarine, when the masts are not deployed.
