So now for my question - I did try to search the forum to see if this had been discussed previously and although I am certain it would have been I had no luck finding it.
1. Can the assigned patrol area for a career patrol be edited to put the sub in the historically correct area for a mission?
2. Can the port to return to be edited to shift a boat from one command to another be edited? For example: depart on patrol from PH but be reassigned to Brisbane for patrol end and leave from Brisbane for future patrols. Example: Henry Bruton in SS 213 Greenling departs Pearl in December of 42 but ends his patrol in Brisbane and the Greenling now assigned to the Asiatic command.
Thanks for any advice, pointers, or direction to the thread that must exist on this topic.

Ahoy, Rigel44...
As for that, about side shifting a sub to a new base... iirc, yeah... it can be done, BUT... just know, that even with getting a new base to go on patrol from... is fraught with, initial patrol orders coming from the old base draw pool, & NOT from the new base... if I have that remembered, rightly.
On the exact particulars of doing so... will let anpther point out the details on accomplishing that feat...
As for 1., on that... not sure... so am gonna leave that to propbeanie/s7rikeback or another subsimmer... answer on that score.
