I seem to recall a problem like this from a long time ago. I haven't played SH4 much, it keeps crashing on my machine.
If I recall correctly, the problem is that you reach too deep a depth, and your sub starts failing. Even if you then start heading for the surface, you continue taking damage, until the whole thing goes. Sounds like the problem you have?
It's been too long, and I don't remember if this was ever fixed. Perhaps one of the patches took care of it. What version of SH4 are you running? Run a search through the archives and see if you can find something.
And they really could have done something better than the spinning death screen. I recall quite a few complaints about that when the game first came out.
