It doesn't MAKE you start anywhere, it starts where you tell it to start. If you made your base Tokyo then you need to change the Departure location to Tokyo:

[Flotilla 1]
ID= Penang
NameDisplayable= Penang-Flotilla-Name
AvailabilityInterval=1943-05-01, 1945-05-31

[Flotilla 1.Base 1]
ID= F1Penang
NameDisplayable= Penang-Base-Name
Info= Penang-Base-Info
ExternalBaseName= Penang
AvailabilityInterval= 1942-02-29, NULL
DepartureDescription1= 12044763.000000, 646206.000000, 270.000000
DepartureDescriptionOut1= 12029563.000000, 621806.000000, 269.992310

You can get the coordinates from the mission editor where you put your base. They are in the bottom left of the mission editor, just put your mouse pointed where you want to start and use the first two numbers latitude and longitude, lng and lat. the third number in the DepartureDescription is the heading of your ship.

DepDescription1 is the "in port" and if you want it accurate so your sub/ship is at a dock then you will need to merge/open the Campaign.LOC (data/Campaigns/Campaign/Campaign_LOC.mis) from the US side so the docks will show, then get your numbers, write them down, and put them into the Flotilla file. You do not resave the file, just use it to get the numbers you need. The easiest way to get accurate numbers for placing a ship at a dock is to actually place a ship/sub at the dock. Then put a waypoint out in front of it lined up perfectly with the dock, set head to waypoint and then check the ship/sub properties and the heading will be filled it for you. DO NOT save it with the sub in it, only use it to get the numbers you need.

Of course I don't know how much traffic you will see starting in 1941 on the UBoat side of the game.
