Oh I think better I understand then the question maybe.
Yes you will remain at whatever base until your unit is transferred by date or you ask for a transfer.
In SH3Commander mod when you start a new career is a set of informational lines at the starting at the Flotilla option; next to the Flotilla block or space is a button that has historical information about the Flotilla, its commander/founder, a brief of unit and then a list of dates with location:
Ex:
1st Flotilla was Kiel then Brest.
But I used to see an in game bug that read every once in while of a transfer like Wilhelmshaven to Kiel etc... But that clears up on a restart.
BTW since my use of SH3Commander I have not seen this "bug" ever again.
