Cut and dried rules of game saving?

The more I read about these save game issues the more I think they are going to ruin my SH3 experience. Like Prowler3 I very much have a real life and I generally only get to play for a few hours each week. Last week I had a destroyer over my head for two hours (real time) on TC32 after attacking a convoy in the Naval Academy, let alone a real career.

Being the Academy (and since both my periscopes had been destroyed already) I just hit <escape> and went to bed, but in career mode I'd have had to tough it out. I can't see how I could have got myself to a convenient point 50km away from anything so I could safely surface just to save the game (getting the destroyer 5km away would have been nice). Basically, if I get myself in a pickle when I'm in career mode I'm going to have to save when submerged and with DC's raining down.

Leaving the PC on in pause mode isn't an option either, as I spend several days away from home at at stretch and I don't want my PC on while I am away.

Are my career aspirations FUBAR'd before I even leave port? I find it amazing that Ubisoft let such a massive bug remain in the game.
