John,

U-3008 left Wilhelmshaven for patrol on 3 May 1945, but returned to port after the surrender.So yes,I would say the boat was at sea at the time Germany surrender.

It is said that the boat returned to port,I would think that port would be Wilhelmshaven.

On 21 June 1945 she was taken by the Allies from Wilhelmshaven to Loch Ryan, thence transferred to the United States, reaching New London, Connecticut, on 22 August. Unterseeboot 3008 was then formally renamed the USS U-3008.
