When SH3 can't reconcile the base lat/long information in your save game file to the information in the campaign file, it will send you to 0 lat 0 long 0 heading, ie off the west coast of Africa.
This is usually caused by running old careers with new campaign files. If the base was moved in the new campaign files, the link is broken, with the result being 0 0 0.
Likewise, a conflict in base coords between Flotilla.cfg and the campaign files will cause this. This usually happens through poor user housekeeping (ie installing mods without rolling back SH3Cmdr first etc).
This is why old careers sometimes work and sometimes don't - not all bases are moved in each campaign file update. So some existing careers will continue to work perfectly. Some existing careers that fail may also work perfectly if you revert to a previous save, as the base may have been different.
Bottom line - the cause is an incompatibility.
