U-190, an IXC/40, had this modification done at the Deschimag yard at Bremen sometime between October 1944 and January 1945.

There are several photos in this book showing the modification to good effect. This is a really worthwhile title. Lots of previously unreleased photos and an appendix entitled "The Type IXC/40 U-boats: U-190 and U-889: A Pictorial Tour". Everything that you ever wanted to know (and then some) about this type.
