^ This. Although 25km is usually enough.

The issue is certainly Stock Bugs causing corruption. In this instance it's the ship you just sunk is causing the problem. It's not unloaded from the games memory even though it's technically a destroyed item. When you try to reload your save, the game engine attempts to reload the 'sunk' vessel as a AI controlled unit. Then spits it's dummy when it fails. This is why you need to leave the rendering radius of this vessel, only then will the game stop tracking and unload the sunk vessel.

The general rules to follow with any version of SH3 (modded or otherwise) are:

Do not save submerged.
Do not save within visual or rendering (+25km) range of ANY vessel (sunk or otherwise) or Harbour.
