The other medals (iron cross, knights cross etc.) do not have this requirement. I remember looking at my medals book in frustration, wondering why everyone on my boat had the front clasp and the badge, while I, with a knights cross at my throat, still lacked these elementary badges.
Of course, sailing back to port isn't the ONLY requirement for these, you still have to send down some allied tonnage.

WRONG !!! I teleport back most of the time"99%" when all torps are spent and radio in. I get a return to base message and tele back.

I have all the medals. Dude be sure what your posting is accurate.
