Calling all German Kriegsfischkutter patrol vessel fans

[Guest]

Hi guys, can anyone tell me what the aircraft/blimp looking things on the quarterdeck are called and if at all known, what color were they usually painted. I have no idea...

I hope this link works its a picture of what I'm talking about.

They're floats for minesweeping, also called oropesa.
