I never thought that you were blaming SH3Cmdr. The description and date information is defined in the game files, not SH3Cmdr. SH3Cmdr merely reads whatever is already in the game (in your case GWX2). So the thought never crossed my mind.

I was simply explaining why a flotilla's description will differ from the actual base change dates.

If anything, your comment is valid feedback for the GWX team, as the combination of the three messages have confused more than just you. Personally, I'd remove the "U 30, 52, 34, 99: Report to the port of Lorient." message altogether and change the "A new submarine base is available for operations in x." to something like "A new submarine base is available for operations in x. U-boats will be advised individually when they are to transfer to this base." or "A new u-boat base is available for resupply use in x.". Just changed to something that removes some of the ambiguity and implication that it's a player base change.
