In your case Kapt Z I don't believe the save was at fault. Most corrupt saves rear their ugly head during load up not after loading successfully then sinking some ships. I would put that crash down to another cause. For those who like to make several saves during a patrol, whilst good in theory, you can end up with a whole batch of corrupted saves. Once one save goes bad all subsequent saves will also be corrupt. The only sure way is to verify each save by exiting SH3 then reloading that save to make sure it's OK.
