I may be late with this reply.
Re the task force, you need to shadow them and send contact reporys once your crew tell you they have the task force in sight and that the contact report is ready. If you do this before the war starts then just maintain contact and then save once war starts. Then reload the save and it should work.
Not sure about ship spawning but im curious about this too.
Save you ships log as a distinct save- in my case i save it as u-32. When you load up each game load the log as well. Dont fill it with lots of useless course info, write your own entries about events, your intentions etc. Then when you load up its easier to pick up whete you left off.
When shadowing and once you have the contact report sent, stick around as the luftwaffe will likely respond to your contact teport. Investigate afterwards and you may have surface debris to report for your war log.
This way of doing things means you can run recce of enemy coasts etc and then reread your now much condenced and much more relevant log.
