Was i just transfered?

Its August 31 1944 I am currently en-rout to my patrol grid When I received a radio message... it reads

00:00 Radio Message
From: BdU
To: U-56
The base was changed to: Penang

I had tried to transfer to the 11th Flotilla before I left port but my request was denied which was odd, I've tried several times in my career to get to to a Norwegian port but no never got there though I was never denied the option to transfer to Brest or St. Nazaire so this was really odd.

Anyways my question is should I scrap my entire plan for the patrol and pray my VIIB has the fuel to make it or ignore it and continue as planned

Unless you can refuel on the way-doubtful at that time in the War-you won't make it in a Type VIIB. Suez Canal should not be open to you.

BTW is the Suez Canal modeled in the game-I never go to the Med.

I think the Suez Canal may be my only option at the moment (I'm not familiar with anything in the Med only ventured there once or twice just going off of where there's routs it look like I can move through) I don't believe there's any place to stop for fuel on the way. That's the part of the journey I'm worried about. Narrow, shallow and crawling with enemies my odds are not looking good right now especially sense we have pretty much lost everything in the Med

But that for sure means I've been transferred there? Is that normal when in the 2nd flotilla?
