Most of the time the game follows history. If you are in Fremantle and offered a Gato before December 1, 1943 you are transferred to Pearl. Gatos first became available in Pearl before production ramped up. After that date you will stay in Fremantle and get a Gato. The Balao was available in Fremantle on August 1, 1943.
You can refuse a new boat and will be offered another later. I generally refuse the first time it is offered unless it is after Dec 1943 to get a Gato and avoid Pearl early in the war.
Note: those dates refer to the stock game. If you are running MODs they could be different. Check the Flotillas.upc if you want to know.
