The "aerial trunks" were, in other words, the housings for the antennae on u-boats. Initially only for the ring shaped DF-aerial and later for the FuMO 61 radar. Both could be lowered into these protective housings/trunks before the u-boat submerged for protective reasons and to reduce drag. Good picture here of a model that clearly shows the trunks:
