no, because you can't. You can only end a patrol at your assigned base. And you can't be assigned to one of the forward bases. Unless its moddable?

I just finished re-reading Fluckey's Thunder Below, and while Barb was based out of Pearl, they completed and began patrols from Midway and Saipan. If it could be modded, then that would be great but having one assigned base where you can actually end the patrol is probably hard coded. So it's probably possible to be able to have your base in Saipan, for example, but not to be based in Pearl and then end/begin a patrol there.

What I do to simulate real life within the constraints of the game is complete a patrol objective, sail to a forward base for a refit and then send in a mission report when I leave the base so that I get a new objective. The stats record it as one patrol but it adds a bit of realism for me. I usually only do this once per patrol since the boys need their R&R in Honolulu (and I don't want to have single patrols with crazy unrealistic tonnage). Unless I've taken anything more than light damage, of course, in which case I refuel and head for Pearl.
