I seemed to get this same behavior about 1 out of 10 times I tried to load a save game that was saved while I was submerged. I don't ever remember it happening during my first month or so of playing SH3. I do not save when submerged anymore and I no longer have the problem (the few times I am forced to save while submerged...I pray for the best). Nothing was more disconcerting than the first time I saw this happen. I saved while submerged after a great attack on a convoy....I had just sunk two tankers and a C2...I was tired and needed to get some sleep...I saved. I started it up again the next day and all of a sudden I am in a steep dive at some 200+ knots. Only minor damage was done (took about 10% hull damamge and lots of broken glass). I was then stuck 500+ meters down, blowing ballast, everything I tried would not help. Finally went back to an older save...prior to the convoy...I was not a happy man.
