Details on both boats in this regard are sadly lacking, due to the "top-secret" nature of the mission. When you originate at San Fran with the Nautilus, you are fresh out of the shop, and need to do at a minimum, a set of test dives, then proceed west for the Battle of Midway. From that, a short re-fit was done at Midway, then west to Empire Waters, returning to Pearl in time to get the Raiders and head for Makin... there should be no San Diego assignment for the boat... Even the Argonaut does not go to San Diego in v1.8...
i agree with you, so why did the stupid-game send me all the way to San Diego?
here is a screenshot of the Nav Map as we begin our trek back to Midway.
notice the date is June 7 (1942).
by the time we arrive at Midway, enough time has passed that our base has been moved to SD...and we were able to end the mission in SD.
i am guessing from here....
we headed to Base-Midway on 6/7.
Base-Midway expired for us on 6/9. Pearl is our new home.
however, because Base-Pearl is not prepared to accept us (refer to my previous post), Base-SD is now home. This cannot be explained by fall-through-logic because Pearl is Flot 1 and SD is Flot 19...and...SD, like Pearl, is not really available for Nautilus until November 1944.
BrisBane (Flot 3) accepts Nautilus 1/1/44 or 4/1/43, depending.
Alaska (Flot 4) accepts Nautilus 4/9/43.

No explainable reason how that happened.
madness.
