When the "randomised days spent in base" feature was added to SH3Cmdr, Beery did some research into this.
His results were then "massaged" into SH3Cmdr thus:
1939 between 5 and 30 days
1940 between 5 and 45 days
1941 between 10 and 50 days
1942 between 15 and 55 days
1943 between 20 and 60 days
1944 between 25 and 65 days
1945 between 25 and 65 days
Obviously these figures don't cater for different sub types or operational areas, hence why I say they were "massaged". But they pretty much outline the two extremes.
One thing is certain though, it was no less than 50 days in SE Asia.
