Hi SCPOTurner,

The rules for returning to ports and docking are these:
First, consult your Captain's Log to see if BDU sends you to a specific port to dock after your misssion. You may not be able to dock elsewhere, so do this first and locate any new port on your map. It will be visible with a submarine icon.

Second, once you are in a port where you can dock, it's not necessary to enter the bunker actually, watch for a yellow icon with an anchor appearing and flashing at the upper side of the screen. Clicking on it will bring you 3 choices: Ending your Patrol, Refitting, or Postpone which quits the icon menu.

Note that not all allied ports can be docked at, in some big ports you can refit but not dock to end the patrol. Also in rare cases (like the first mission) the docking icon will not appear until you have finished all 'ongoing' missions, in this case or finish the missions or speed up time until you reach the finish time for the mission - in your case September 4th. The docking icon will then appear.

I hope this helps,
cheers,
