I'm surprised so many people didn't see the anchors. They're big on my nav map and the first time I pulled into PH I got the Refit, End Mission, Postpone popup box. I picked refit and checked my sub. Damage = Gone, Torps = Full, etc...so I was like phuck it. Lets go do some more hunting. Two things I would mention. 1. I got a message saying that Manila was not to be used as home port anymore 'cause of airstrikes, but I went there first because it was so much closer and voila they still refitted me. 2. If you plot a course with waypoints and have your sub auto follow the course in close to the dock make sure you slow the game speed down when you approach the dock. When the refit/End Patrol/Postpone window pops up your sub will continue straight ahead, at the same speed, with the same time progression. I found this out the hard way as I was sitting back running at around 2000x regular time at flank speed up along a preplotted course fairly close to the harbor. I was watching tv and just glancing over occasionally at my comp when suddenly my crew started screaming their heads off and alarms started blaring. Apparently the little window had popped up, but my boat continued at flank speed directly into the harbor where it proceeded to plow into a docked American battleship. Long story is we both sank. I did try to reverse out of the ship but my front end was stuck inside the battleship. Now I approach the last bit slowly.
