Yes, I think they were but also on surface vessls I understand.
They are spun up with an air pump rather like a bicyle pump.
I have the operation booklet in German. Apparently they were spun up then carried up the conning tower to take a sight. All a bit hairy it sounds.
Mine was badly damaged but I got it working enough to see that it would work, accuracy similar to the bubble version.
