1. Upon visual contact with an enemy ship you will get a message that says "Ship Spotted".
You then have 3 options:
1. Engage target
2. Continue with current orders
3. Dive to periscope depth
If you hit option 1 your gun is manned and the crew will open fire.
The other two options should not result in them firing.
If this is a bug of some sort simply click on your Watch Officer and choose the Deck Gun icon. One option there is "Cease Fire". Your gun crew should stop firing if you click it.
2. You must be using either IUB or RUB to get that much harbour traffic. You cannot set the ships to just be docked, unless you are a modder of some sort. I suggest you simply use an unmodded version of SH3...very little traffic then.
3. If you have finnished the mission and saved, when you reload your career you should have two saves in Port. One which is "In base after mission" (this means you have just finnished your last mission) and one which is "In base before mission" (this means you have distributed medals etc and are about to go on your next mission). If you want a different patrol grid load up the first one I mentioned. You will have to redistribute medals and redo any upgrades etc, but you should get a new patrol grid.
Good luck.
