I think in some cases, bases can supply torpedoes on their own?

AFAIK no. Its as you said, HQ's that are in range supply the torps.

IIRC, when the game was first released there were certain large Naval BFs that could supply torpedoes. This caused problems with trying to get torpedoes to the front lines when the big BFs were left in the rear as the front moved forward - you had to move the BF (which you might not want to do) and risk it near the front again. In one of the early update patches (I think the one that got rid of glide bombing and dropped the altitude for low level bombing to <2000 feet from <6000 feet) it was changed to an air HQ providing the torps. I don't recall any check on base supply being made, except when the HQ is trying to restock torps from the base supply.
