The other solution is to use Commander to choose a September start date.
The '24-hour' patrol assignment is a holdover from the way the game was originally supposed to work, with lots of missions and zero randomness. I always stay in the same grid for at least two weeks, and then only move if I haven't seen anything at all.

Similarly to what Steve has posted...that is why we included the ability to sail from Konigsberg with the 7th/13th Flotilla.
After 4 days you'll receive a radio message recalling you back to base....set Commander to 15 days in base and apply for a transfer to 1st or 2nd Flotilla and you will have plenty of time to get into position prior to the commencement of hostilities as was the case in RL.
