For a time.
The uboat was not a member of the party, nor did it belong to the party. The uboat belonged to the military and the government.
Hitler was Chancellor first, then dictator. The chancellor post he held belonged to the government. He was a member of the Nazi party. Once he became dictator the government changed into a dictatorship, controlled by the Nazi party. The government was a separate entity from the party, but the latter controlled the former. But they are not the same. The military/government owned that boat. And also a case can be made that the military and the government were not the same entity. In the last days of the war leading members of the military became the leaders of the government and asked for peace.
