Some simple steps to avoid this malody.
1.) Only apply mods while in base (between patrols)
2.) Save early save often. Dont play more than an hour or so without a save. I dont care if you are submerged at 300 feet with 10 destroyers overhead... make a save just in case.
No one really knows what the deal is with the saved game instability. Personally I have never had an issue. You will hear lots of 'dont save near other ships', 'dont save while submerged', 'only save while at the nav map', 'only save at 1x time compression'.
I have 'violated' all the above at one time or another and have had no issues to date with the exception of ai ships / planes being stuck in the side of a mountain / building.
I presume that if you save while surfaced at the nav map at 1x time your chances of some corrupted data are lessened. However it may be 'days' before you can get into such a position.
