Playing GWX 1.03 and SH3C, I just got the same problem today, when finishing a mission in august 1940, 2nd flotilla.
During the patrol I never received the "Base changed to..." message and when I docked at Wilhelmshaven - my starting base - I had no access to crew management and sub equipment screen. I figured out my base had been changed.
So I reloaded a previous save at sea and ended the game far away from port. This took me to the current base, Lorient.
The real problem is that somehow, the "Base changed to..." message doesn't seem to come in due time. Still can't figure a fix to this. Maybe some tinkering with the Flotilla.cfg file is needed.
