For a "clue" as to why in this case, look at your Flotillas file for Manila, and the date you sailed. I don't think anything changed between v1.4 and v2.0 of RFB in this regard, but:

AvailabilityInterval= NULL, 1941-12-23

So they are withdrawing, and you have to go with them! You won't have a base. The same thing happens later at Surabaya, if you come in on the 24th of Feb, you will sail out on the 28th:

AvailabilityInterval= 1941-12-24, 1942-02-28

I think it was in SH4 v1.3 where you might dock like you did, and then go out 30 days later, but from Surabaya. Apparently, they used "extra" people to move your boat for you in v1.3...

now THAT makes sense.

i did not peruse Flotillas before i posted.

so, based on explanation, i should expect to sail to Brisbane for my next base?

[Flotilla 2.UserPlayerUnitType 1]
ID= F2Sboat
NameDisplayable= S-18 class
AvailabilityInterval= NULL, 1942-04-15
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= S18
UnitTypeCommonality= 6
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= BrisbaneCommand

then i lose my boat 4/15?
