If you have saved a career profile and the associated savegames within the game itself, that kaleun's name will appear in the list of saved career profiles you see to the left when you open Commander. His status as reported by Commander should match the status of your last save within that career.
For instance, if you were playing that career and did a save and exit while in the middle of patrol #3, when you reopen Commander and select that kaleun you should see info for his career/status on the right. It should show that he is "at sea on patrol 3" or something to that effect.
If you had completed the patrol and returned to base before exiting the game, his status in Commander should include something like "at home base before patrol 4."
In other words, Commander keeps an active and up-to-date record of where the game says your kaleun was at the time of your last save. To resume playing that kaleun's career, all you have to do is select his name and tell Commander to load the game, then select his career in the game, and you can start up where you left off when you last exited.
If your kaleun's name already appears in Commander as an available career to play, and you create another career "from scratch" with the same name, you'll have troubles as you've already seen.
Now - if you're talking about reloading a saved career which has already ended in-game because your kaleun went down with his boat the last time out, what you have to do is reload a save that you made prior to losing the boat, which will delete all saves after that point and thus "erase" your death. Or you can manually select and delete all the savegames after the last save where you were still alive and well. If you do that, your kaleun's career reverts to where it was in that last save, and when you exit the game and reopen Commander, the same status should be reflected there.
