At the beginning of the patrol I had to switch bases from Kiel to St. Nazaire. The first bug I noticed, after completing my patrol just South of Ireland, was that St. Nazaire wasn't on the map. This was kind of disconcerting but running on fumes at that point I decided diverting to Brest (which fortunately was on the map) was probably necessary anyway (or so I told myself at the time).

Second bug: I noticed while at Brest (anyone else have to keep backspacing the 'a' when they type that word?) that my crew had earned a bunch of medals, promotions, etc and as per usual because Brest wasn't home base I couldn't hand them out there but when I finally reached St. Nazaire (which was now on the map) the medals and promotions were gone. And lastly (the third bug) so was one of my officers. The best part of this last bug was that not only was he gone, but it still showed my officers as 5 of 5 so I couldn't even fill his slot with someone else (though this reassured me that at least he hadn't absconded with our medaks and promotions).

Anyway I persevered onward, hoping that it'd all sort itself out after completing a patrol from my new home base only to lose the boat and the crew. Only no bug this last time, rather the result of Herr Kaleun's over aggressiveness near Scapa Flow combined with another dose of bad luck.
IIRC The port is there, it just doesn't show on the map. This was discussed a long time ago and my memory isn't what it used to be. As for the second bug: I've done the medal/promotions while docked at a resupply ship. Either way, if you don't hand them out you lose them. They don't carry over to the next patrol.
