Loading a save and crew is on the bridge submerged

[cristo]

Several of my save games have reloaded fine, but to my dismay, the crew is posted on the bridge while I am submerged.

I cannot remove them as they are replaced automatically since I am apparently "on the surface."

I suppose I could keep playing but I have always quit since it seemed likely there were other bizarre errors lurking...

Any ideas? I searched the forum but did not find anything useful...
