Yeah, I was starting to wonder if it wasn't a rollback issue at all, especially since the game files didn't seem to have "at sea" coordinates for the bases. If it's something in Commander's files instead, then I don't know that rolling back or not has any effect on those.

It's still weird that it would get stuck like that and not update when you changed it in the Options screen. I've gone from one to the other and back again in the same career without any issues. Although I've only ever checked or unchecked that box in between patrols, but I don't know if that makes any difference.

At any rate - hope that sorts it out.

Edit: Actually, looking at SH3Cmdr.ini in two of my Commander installations, it looks like this:

StartAtSea=0 means the option is unchecked, and you start in the subpens

and

StartAtSea=1 means the option is checked, and you start at sea.

So if it says StartAtSea=0 in that file, you should be starting in the subpens.
