Update.
Thought I'd try something before reviewing drivers and patching.
I switched off remote game saving.

There was one CTD which (I think this time) came about when a torpedo struck a VW destroyer that had collided with a Dido cruiser. The DD was stationery and did not seem to be recognised by the game software - it did not get picked up by the TDC and was not visible on the maps.

But I was able to reload the game from the latest save file.

I'm sure that the CTD corrupts the save by not allowing the save files to be closed properly and the game cannot be synchronised between me and the server, thus they fail to open, so I suggest saving locally.

This may not necessarily stop CTDs but it will mean that you will more likely not lose data from these events.
