There was another major shift of a US submarine base forward during the war. The Brisbane repair base was moved north to Subic Bay in the Phillipines in 1945. Most of the crews weren't too happy about moving from Australia to humid, unhealthy and desloate Subic Bay but it sure shortened the trip to Japan. By 1945 Brisbane was far behind the front lines.
