Running TMOwtw, March 9 1943 In Midway after ending patrol. I checked for available transfers and saw Mare Island.
The TMO manual discusses a transfer choice of "new Construction at Mare Island", which gives you a new Gato boat.
I decided to go see, but after transferring I checked the ship status, still have a Balao, and everything is exactly as it was, just like a transfer to Asiatic fleet would be.

Are there advantages to starting from Mare Island? I see one disadvantage: being 3000 miles farther from action.
