The Auto-Rollback option does it automatically so you don't need to remember to do it manually.

IIRC there are some changes Commander can make to the game files that cannot be undone just by deselecting the related option at a later date and relaunching the game. Once the change is made, if a rollback is not performed (either manually or automatically) when you exit that gaming session, the changes will remain in place until they are manually edited out of the game files (or some other mod is enabled that overwrites the affected file).

That's why I'm wondering if "start at sea" was checked at the launch of one gaming session, which ended without a rollback being done, and then unchecked at a later time. If you were in and out of the game several times before finishing the patrol, and you only rolled back after the last session where you completed the patrol, I think it would've been too late to uncheck the option and have it undo the changes made when you first checked it.

I usually do it whenever I finish a patrol, as I like to look at the patrol log of that patrol
