You have been transferred to a new base. You would normally have received a radio message about it during the previous patrol. Since you are not at your home base right now (Wilhelshaven?), you cannot access some areas in port. A patrol grid of NULL simply means 'go to your new base and report in'.

Are you sure Brest isn't there? It is located on the very western tip of the southern shore of the channel. I seem to remember there being a bug in the stock game that caused Brest to disappear, but I can no longer recall the details.

You can try looking here if you need more information.

Yeah...this happened to me too. I was transferred from St. Nazaire to Brest. If you have it SH Commander can let you know if you have transferred. That's how I found out. So..I sailed to Brest and was able to access everything once there.

Just start heading toward France.
Brest will eventualy show up on your chart.

Patrol Grid: Null = No Patrol Grid Renown.
You still get credit for anything you sink.

Optional Orders from "BDU" (No Renown for grid);
Patrol Grid AM53.
Hopefuly you'll enjoy my favorite Type VIIB grid.
Plenty to keep you busy in there.
