I wonder if they ever use that mast & boom? I don't think I have ever
seen a sail on one of these.

pretty sure , that the mast & boom are for hoisting the zodiac/dingy
and mount the radar.

but of course , you could put a sail on most anything, the US submarine USS
R-14 (SS-91) had to resort to a makeshift sail when they ran low on fuel
