So, I sail away figuring it wants me to go to untenable Suribaya. 100nm out of port, radio message comes in, "All boats now use Fremantle as base of ops". Yeah, I turn around (I have hull damage, plus want to bank renown). Still have 'end patrol' grayed out on the options. Thoughts?

i echo what PB posted.

addendum: sometimes you have to park outside the new home base and wait for the game to activate it. it should take more than a day or so.

in your example, since you received the Fremantle message, you should sail to Fremantle and wait for the anchor to activate as a base (fouled anchor).
rest assured that you are safer there than any other spot on the map.

now that you know what to expect.
