The U-flak boats were converted VIIC's. They were not at all very successful, as the Allied planes would fly and attack in groups, and easily overwhelm their relatively minor (despite the appearance) firepower. In fact, according to www.uboat.net, the four U-flak boats only actually shot down 2 aircraft.
