I discovered this last night after having expended all my torps I called in with a status report several times as I was patrolling my assigned area. Finally a convoy entered my area close enough for me to intercept it without leaving the area and I got close enough to send a contact report and 15 minutes later, I got the message to leave the contact for "other assets" and return to my assigned port.

Right! But eventually you get the same mission over and over. Me being me did not want to take pictures of the same harbor again. This was ordered again after 'end patrol' was clicked. So I reloaded my game from the point before going to my assigned port. I radioed in but was never told to go to port. So I decided to sail to Brisbane, Java was my home port. I was able to refit and struck out on my own. After about 3 days of radio contact I finally got a new mission. This only happened after Java was taken. We are trying to figure out why the same patrol over and over. I believe it is a time line thing. Once home port is gone then a new port and new missions. Now if you use Pearl, I understand if you refit at Wake you start getting new missions. Being Pearl never falls to the Japanese I believe the developers handled this aspect by using wake for refit and new missions to follow. I used the same logic with Java by going to Brisbane for refit. It seemed to have worked. Still working on it.:hmm:
