Zoom out on your map and look for it, go there to end your patrol and you will get the option to do so! 
Completing a mission has nothing to do with ending a patrol. |
This is most likely the culprit. There are several situations throughout the course of the war where your home port is changed. I bet if you go to your radio message log you'll see a message telling all boats under a particular flotilla to relocate to a new base of operations.
If you started with the Asiatic fleet based out of Manila, you get shuffled around quite a bit for your first few patrols until you end up at Freemantle in Australia.
