it is now 24 hours later (Aug 26 Noon) and no replacement is apparent as i peruse the Nav Map.
i may save my place and go and look at the Flotillas.upc file to see for myself.

yes, it is a bug. see:
[Flotilla 8]
ID= 30Flotilla
NameDisplayable= 30Flotilla-Flotilla-Name
AvailabilityInterval=1942-10-01, 1944-10-01

[Flotilla 8.Base 1]
ID= F8Constanta
NameDisplayable= 30Flotilla-Base-Name
Info= 30Flotilla-Base-Info
ExternalBaseName= Constanta
AvailabilityInterval= 1942-10-01, 1944-08-15
DepartureDescription1= 3436719.000000, 5298106.000000, 135.0000
DepartureDescriptionOut1= 3449068.000000, 5293404.000000, 090.0000

[Flotilla 8.UserPlayerUnitType 1]
ID= F8IIB
NameDisplayable= Type IIB U-boat
AvailabilityInterval= NULL, NULL
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= IIB
UnitTypeCommonality= 8
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL
i'd like to know how i was assigned a Type 23 a mission or two ago. the type IIB is the only boat defined for Constanza.
the only other base in the Med at this time is Salamis.

after further review, Salamis should not be active in 1944. Observe:
[Flotilla 15.Base 2]
ID= F15Salamis
NameDisplayable= Salamis
Info= 23Flotilla-Base-Info
ExternalBaseName= Salamis
AvailabilityInterval= 1941-09-28, 1942-05-15
DepartureDescription1= 2814990.000000, 4554165.000000, 180.0000
DepartureDescriptionOut1= 2805354.000000, 4551496.000000, 180.0000
but look at the map. No base for Constanza but there is Salamis, bold as brass in August 1944.

well...imgbb website is down so i cannot show you the map. you will have to take my word for it.
i am more than willing to make the trip back to an Atlantic base, but i need one that is active for the 23. THAT would be a thrilling trip: first the Dardenelles/Bosphorus then Gibraltar.

does anyone have any ideas on how i can get out of this mess?
