There is a ship there that functions as a port. If you are in the vicinity then you can dock as if ending your current patrol. But the game knows this is a special kind of port so it doesn't completely finalize the patrol. It knows this will be a intermediate break. You can't assign medals, or do repairs there, or do crew transfers iirc. When starting the next 'new' patrol it will be from the supply ship. You get replennished torpedoes and fuel and can continue the second part of this patrol. You will leave the 3d world, and have to go through the whole game loading sequence because it looks like it's a new patrol.
