As for ending the patrol at sea and being teleported home, that I don't know but I imagine the code for this from Sh3 is buried in there somewhere.

Yeah. I've just about figured out now what I'll do and try. Ducimus has found out how to alter those coordinates for his International Dateline Torpedo track fix some time ago. They are in upcdata/upccampaigndata/flotillas.upc.
So what I will do for now is once I know my assigned patrol area, I will alt-tab out of the game, open the SHIV mission editor (I hope this program can run parallel to SHIV lol - if not I need to preplan and write out starting coords for all patrol areas), decide on where I want to start by moving the mouse over the point, noting the coords, open the shortcut to flotillas.upc on my desktop, and change the "outside harbor" coords accordingly. This should work. Maybe I have to revert to the main menue before alt-tabing out of SHIV, in case this file is already loaded as soon as you enter a career game.
I haven't tested this yet but will try as soon as I return from my current patrol.
