If you received the boat at Milne prior to it being active at Milne, you will not be able to dock there most likely never. You ~MIGHT~ maybe be able to accept the boat, but before going on patrol, attempt to transfer out to a base where the Balao is active. I have not attempted that yet (kind of tough to test the situation). However, the game usually treats an "early" sub as a dead sub, and you end up being The Flying Dutchman, doomed to sail the seas for the game's eternity, never being able to go home... but usually, it drops the home port. I have never seen what you have, with a home port showing, and unable to dock there... Are you in close enough (within roughly 6km)??

My guess though, is that you will have to reload a Save from before you were awarded the boat, and do things again, but do NOT take the boat until you have an active location. This is another reason (missing guns and gun crews being another) why you should put your crew back in their normal 'berthing' locations as you are getting close to base, and Save prior to docking. That way, you have something to fall back on.
