As posted, the slanted anchor home base icon is the clue, and home port change occurs early in the War, and usually noted in a flash traffic message somewhere during the mission, most of which I have come to ignore.

Having experienced a change of home port and being left short, I developed the habits of
  1. If no refit bases are available (as they are later in the War), I always turn for home with at least 50% fuel remaining, ensuring I won't run out.
  2. saving the game before turning for home port so that if home port is changed, I have options and probably enough fuel to either refit or get home
