No problem.
Interestingly, despite their out of the way locations these bases had some decent amenities thanks to resorts and facilities left by their former colonial owners. The U-Boats crews in their off-time could engage in golf, tennis, football, swimming, and hunting. Health resorts in the mountains such as Penang Hill, Fraser Hill, Cameroon Highlands in Malaya, or Selapentana and Chikopo on the island of Java, were opened to German authorities for recreation of the crews or the personnel of the bases. In some cases, the entire management of such places was put in German hands.
Probably a better party spot than France. Less shore patrol to worry about.
