Submarine Tenders...

Alrighty then...

... so your SSN has been on a independent forward patrol doing some recon, not attached to any CVSG, and your running out of food. You need to find the nearest submarine tender to stock up on meat loaf and pie for your crew (mmm.. meat loaf and pie

.. and don't forget the hotdogs). Question is... where would the nearest sub tender being hanging out?

Some possibilities...
1. Might be hanging out with the nearest CVSG. You'll just have to find the nearest carrier group, set speed for them, and a subtender is bound to be tagging along.
2. Hanging out at the nearest friendly naval base, waiting for something to do. Just set sail for the nearest port. Might be a little ways away and subtract from you time on patrol.
3. Floating around aimlessly undefended. Just hanging about on its own independent patrol...

My gut says that Sub tenders will probably almost always be hanging around CVSG. So that subs, even those not attacked to the carrier group will have to find one and restock... can anyone confirm, or has good information about sub tender operations?
