If you are going to rollback Commander, you should do it every time you exit the game - whether you finish the patrol or not. Using rollback has nothing to do with looking at the patrol logs, so I assume you mean that you manually rollback at the end of a patrol because that's the only time you open Commander again after exiting the game. But auto-rollback will perform a rollback on exit every time whether you finish a patrol or not. You don't have to remember to rollback, you don't have to remember to reopen Commander. Definitely the way to go IMO.

At any rate I suspect this may be where your persistent "start at sea" base locations are coming from.

If you launched the game one time with "start at sea" checked, Commander changed the DeparturePoint settings for all the base locations. If you exited the game after that session without a rollback, the new DeparturePoint info was left the way it was during that session with all your bases located outside their harbors. They will stay that way until you manually edit them, because deselecting the "start at sea" option probably doesn't overwrite that file again with the original data, it just prevents the same alternate data from being written in a second time.

Auto-rollback is your friend, if you're rolling back anyway there's no reason not to use it and let it rollback every time you exit the game.
