The Corrientes is a nice ship but...

...I really don't want to sit next to her for 25 days.

After a very successful patrol that took me to grid CF and then down west of Madeira to patrol the shipping coming north out of Freetown (burning through over 1/2 my fuel and all my eels in the process), I docked at the Corrientes to resupply for more action and then the trip home. This was on Feb 4 1940 in-game.

I hit Exit Patrol, Dock At Corrientes, and exited the game. Updated my personnel file and reviewed my patrol log in Commander and then went into options and told it to set days in base to 1.

But when I reload SH3 and my current career, it keeps showing me as In Base Before Patrol with a patrol start date of Feb 29 1940.

Do I need to go back to the save I made as I approached Las Palmas and re-dock at the Corrientes to end the patrol a second time in order for the "days in base: 1" to stick? Does that have to be changed before one ends a patrol for it work when the next patrol is started?

Altho I did take some damage in a convoy attack and I think my hull integrity is down to 75%, is that adding so many extra days to my time in base that it's starting at 1 and adding another 20+?

Is there a way I can go into my career files and edit them manually so I still end up with a start date of Feb 5?
