Ships are only rendered when they are within around 30km of your u-boat. All other ships live in the _SCR (or _RND) files as placeholders, not full ship models, therefore you have rendered ships and placeholders. Both rendered ships and placeholders follow waypoints which gives them their course.
When you save a game, the game remembers all rendered ships but relies on the _SCR/RND layer for placeholders.
When you load a savegame, SH3 seems to remember waypoints for placeholders but forgets them for rendered ships, leaving them to sail blindly in a straight line.
This is the closest I can come to explaining this behaviour so I'd be grateful if anyone else can shed light on the problem.
