I look at it this way...
We had only been at sea a week or so. Ive finished my assignments and low on fuel and out of torpedoes.
Theres a tender not to far from here. Lets sail there get re-provisioned and radio in our status.
A reply comes soon "Patrol blah blah" so were off to 'blah blah' for another week or so untill our NEW assignment is either completed or failed.
Eventually I take the boys "home" for a little R&R after a couple of months.
I cant see where this would NOT be done in real life.
