Never played a short scen , but hope this extract from rulebook helps you ...

6.5.2 HOME BASE FOR REFIT/REPAIRS
When the Production option is turned off and a partial map is being used, each nationality will have a Home Base automatically assigned that the ship travels to when traveling off map:
»»Australian goes to Sydney
»»New Zealand goes to Auckland
»»Japanese goes to Osaka/Kobe
»»US types, China and Philippines goes to Pearl Harbor
»»Soviet Union goes to Murmansk

Can´t help with how you take it "off-map"

Thanks for that

so the next question is how do I leave the map in a partial map game ?

It seems I found some info in the rules

6.1.3 SHIP INFORMATION SCREEN, pg 86 (bottom)
....The option to return to a major off map port (Return to Pearl Harbor) is only available in small map scenarios. It is only selectable when the player’s ships are in one of the designated main

pg87
Naval Units
bases for the scenario. If not in a main base, this option is grayed out. In full map scenarios this “off-map” movement is not an option and will not be on the display. The number in parenthesis next to the “Return to Pearl Harbor” indicates the round trip travel time for this ship (in days) including time to repair or upgrade the ship once it reaches the off map port.

You can repair it in Sydney.

Hey nice catch!
 
If i read this tread right, i think you have to withdraw your ship to Truk (JAP) or Noumea (sp?) (AL.) and then click the "return to PH/Kobe" option?

OK thanks so its Sydney by the looks of it - for any chance to use her again.

There are a lot of upgrades that you can only do in Sydney as well.

Thanks so Sydney is much more important than Noumea ?

Wouldn't say that. Each has their own purpose. Noumea is the easiest base from which you can support Lunga and any other offensive up the Solomons. Iirc it also receives 1500/2000 in supply/fuel per day. Sydney is one of many bases in Australia . . . . although it does have a priceless shipyard and it's where your daily supply/fuel arrive for SwPac.
