EDIT: Found the mistake.

Go to Mission/Events That is an Intelligence report that will show you on the map where the US Task Force is. It crashes when that report is generated. The reason it is crashing is the "Intstance Name" is set to the Maya. You are generating a contact report on yourself. Click the dropdown list and set to "US Cruisers" the group that you are suppose to generate a report for.

It's a good idea not to name the trigger with the same name as the Event, sometimes causess confusion.

Easiest way to change it is in the mission editor, but here is the info in the file you posted that is incorrect:

[Event 1]
EventName=Contact
Type=3
TriggersNo=1
Trigger1=contact
Inst= _IJN CA Maya II#1
IntTarget=1
ErrorRadius=100.000000

This is what it should be:

[Event 1]
EventName=Contact
Type=3
TriggersNo=1
Trigger1=contact
Inst=US cruisers
IntTarget=1
ErrorRadius=100.000000
