You don't need to do any of this this. Page 13 from the SH3Cmdr User Guide states:

3. SH3 Commander automatically recognises when you are docked at a milk cow or other friendly base and will automatically adjust the number of days spent in base to 1 without you needing to manually change via the SH3 Options screen. You can click on the label to toggle status. *Note that extra days will be added if damage needs to be repaired; this is a limitation imposed by Silent Hunter III.
All you need do is dock, exit SH3, load SH3Cmdr, note the status (if it says "In other base...", you know it has correctly recognised where you are docked) and press the Launch SH3! button. SH3Cmdr looks after the rest.

You can toggle the status at any time too, so if for whatever reason you want to "force" your "standard" days in base setting when you are docked at a friendly base (or vice versa), simply change the status to "In home base..." by clicking on it.
