I'm in the same boat (heh) I'm afraid: I'm trying to end my 10th patrol which I started in Kiel on 6 Sept '40. I'm to return to St. Nazaire but there's no St. Nazaire on map! I'm over there right now (thanks google maps!) but there's no port visible or anything. Hanging out to end patrol too after downing 56kt! Playing stock 1.4 with no mods whatsoever. Appreciate any advice greatly!

-bump-

please help! I've got sweet FA fuel left - can I end the mission at nearby Lorient (say)?

Just press Esc and see where you end up

Yes, I would go some 50km out to sea and then exit patrol/return to base.
That should put you in the right base.

I am not exactly a veteran skipper, but in a similar circumstance, I did what you seem to have done, and it worked for me.

I received a message mid-patrol that my base was changed from Wilhelmshaven to Brest, but Brest was not on the map. Having enough fuel to explore, I set course for where Brest should be. Upon arriving, all was as it should be - docks, factories, pens, were all sitting there. And a I was given the option to "Dock at Brest".

So, after double checking to be sure you have the location correct, I would try for another French port. I have read that if you end your patrol at sea, you lose credit for the tonnage sunk. Perhaps someone can confirm this for you.
