Default Base Re-Assignment Missing

Started in Asiatic Fleet with USS Searaven out of Cavite on 12/10/1941. After Manila, Subic Bay, and Mariveles fell was assigned to return to Darwin, reaching there on 12/30/1941.

Left Darwin on 02/19/1942 and almost immediately ran into an IJN Battle Group - sank a Hiyo and ran off due to the shallow water and large number of DD's looking for me. Shortly after that received a notice that Darwin was no longer a Base.

However, now on 03/11/1942 I still do not have an assigned base. I have checked every base from England to Fremantle. No tilted anchor anywhere.

I'm guessing there is a date problem somewhere (?), but it appears i will be on endless patrol if I stay with this career.

Please advise!

EDIT: Oh, and where are my manners? MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL SUBSIMERS! AND A HAPPY, SAFE NEW YEAR!
