Here's the data from the relevant file:

;"Randomise number of days spent in base" option
;YEAR=<MinDaysInBase>|<MaxDaysInBase>
1939=5|30
1940=5|45
1941=10|50
1942=15|55
1943=20|60
1944=25|65
1945=25|65

The min/max figures are based on the actual historical averages for each time period.

Whatever number Commander gives you, the game will also add 1 extra day for every 1% loss in hull integrity. Looks like 3 months or more could be a possibility later in the war if you come back really beat up, but you shouldn't have to worry about ending up on the other side of the globe with a grandchild on your knee. Even sailors don't work that fast.
