Home base changed to Guam?

[shoot-kill-win]

Right now I am running th add-on with RSRDC and I left Pearl Harbor in the Batfish heading towards Japan to insert secret agent. When I got don my home base of Pearl chenged to Guam, was there even a sub base at Guam in WWII? Because in the game Guam does not even have a dock modeled.

I'm pretty sure there was a base in Guam if I remember correctly. I think it is mentioned in Silent Victory. I think it was pretty late in the war though. But don't take my word for it.

Yeah, it is December 1944 right now, and we are about to invade Iwo. So it might be so. I will google it. lol.

Edit: googled it and found out we did have one in 44 in Apra harbor, Guam.

Guam had a sub base. Some crew members of Sea Fox were killed by Japs (in Feb '45), the island wasn't quite secure for a long time.

You know what, I just realized I should have known this. A subvet I talked to over the summer from WWII said that his sub was docked there once and that he and his crew mates were driving aorund the island, and found some beer out in the open so they took it. As they were driving back a Japanese sniper opened fire on them so they just started shooting back. That night they baried the beer in the sand (to keep it cool) tehn in the morning gave some to the capt. and they said dont ask where we got it from. This man was very nice and funny, he passed away last fall.

There was another major shift of a US submarine base forward during the war. The Brisbane repair base was moved north to Subic Bay in the Phillipines in 1945. Most of the crews weren't too happy about moving from Australia to humid, unhealthy and desloate Subic Bay but it sure shortened the trip to Japan. By 1945 Brisbane was far behind the front lines.

Is this something new, added in with the add-on? I've never been moved from Pearl Harbor to Guam before.

It would happen to you, shoot-kill-win. LOL

Yea, I just could not believe it since in game there is no port modelled there, just an island. However I am glad now, seeing as I am at the port one of the subvets I got to meet was stationed at.
