After searching some Chinese SH3-4-5 fan sites, here is the fix to the problem of failing to load a saved game for Chinese U47's Warship Mod. The problem may be the torpedo tubes configuration within Basic.cfg. The two downloadable fixes were made by someones at Chinese U47's workshop site several years ago.
For Warship Mod 3.0 for stock SH3 1.4b, simply download fix from this site (click on (33kb) button on upper right)& replace the old Basic.cfg.

For Warship Mod 3.0 for GWX 3.0, download from this site & replace old file.

For Warship Mod 2.0 (for stock SH3), you'll have to do some editing yourself. The Basic.cfg contains torpedo tubes parameters such as this:
.................................
...................................
[SUBMARINE_AMMO0]; IIA
Type=0
Version=0
ForeTubes=0
AftTubes=0
ForeResIntern=0
ForeResExtern=0
ForeResExtra=0
AftResIntern=0
AftResExtern=0
ShellSlots=4
NbYears=7
Year0=1939
Z01_00=0; IIA/1
S01_00=5
S02_00=2
A01_00=10
A02_00=10

Radar_00=-1
RadarWarningReceiver_00=-1
SonarCoatings_00=-1
RadarCoatings_00=-1
Renown0=0
.................................................. ...................................
Now, go to the original SH3's Basic.cfg and copy/paste to make it look like:
.................................................. ....................................
[SUBMARINE_AMMO0]; IIA
Type=0
Version=0
ForeTubes=3
AftTubes=0
ForeResIntern=2
ForeResExtern=0
ForeResExtra=0
AftResIntern=0
AftResExtern=0
ShellSlots=4
NbYears=7
Year0=1939
ForeTube00=0;T1
ForeTube01=0
ForeTube02=0
ForeResIntern00=0
ForeResIntern01=0
Z01_00=0; IIA/1
S01_00=5
S02_00=2
A01_00=10

Do the same for EVERY U boat type and for EVERY year, but make sure you don't touch Z0/S0/A0 parameters, and if Nbyear differs, keep the mod's version and just manually add tube parameters to those extra years (1939-1941, for example for VIIC/41).
Good/bad thing is: commerce raider/auxilliary cruiser now has torpedo launchers just like it did historically, but so do all other ships.
But at least now you can save and reload in the middle of a patrol. Hope this helps.
