I believe they're to add extra stability to the
planes. Maybe an embarassing afterthought?

Can anyone confirm the purpose of the cable stays on
the bow planes of this S-Class sub?
The S-class had retractable bow planes, but I have found
nothing to indicate a cable system for retraction and extension. I know the
later fleet boats used hydraulic actuators but, this is
an intriguing possibility for a homebuilt.
