If I accept, I get a Balao-class (unimaginatively, the namesake boat of the class). It has a couple problems:
1) consumes no diesel, I zoomed around the Pacific for weeks at flank without dropping below 99/100.
2) Flying Dutchman effect. Though I was forced to Brisbane as my homeport, and it does have the tilted anchor symbol, I can't "End Patrol" there. Only rearm/refuel or postpone.

Wow, that's a very premature Balao and possibly the source of your troubles. From the Submarine Availability Chart in the Support -> Extra Info section, the Balao shouldn't be accepted before 5/24/43.
To be more precise, the fuel usage stops tracking sometime in late 1942/early 1943.
