Hello Joe. I can not remember exactly what they where for, but mostly sure they where communications Anteenas. Forget if it was short or long range. When they where up they would get in the way of operations so they where able to move to a horizontal position. AFAIK all nations with carriers had them, though not positive with the RN

No krieg, It never saw any action. The ship was launched but never commisioned. I think I heard that the Russians sank it in some tests in the Baltic but the KM isn't really my specialty so maybe someone else can help on that.
