If i am right, why isn't this possibility included in the game?

Torplexed explained how they could avoid being caught out when a forward base fell to the enemy, but no, they wouldn't send a tender into enemy-controlled waters, and they didn't have the resources to escort a mission like that, or the area wouldn't have fallen.
In real life they could also tell which way the fight was going and plan accordingly. Any sub setting out in that period should have enough fuel to make it to a friendly port.
