(It's September 1942 in-game if that's relevant.)

Send PB the info he requested however i have experienced the same thing as you and i discovered that rebooting helps.
Ubi coded SH4 in a manner that makes it very fragile when considering memory usage and error conditions. very sub-standard, in my book.
One question PB forgot to ask: do you have LAA or some similar 4 GB utility enabled?

Rebooting didn't help unfortunately. I do have LAA enabled. Though one thing of note is that I enabled it when I first started my campaign, but when I went to check if it was still enabled, I had to reselect SH4.exe as the target file. Is LAA something you have to activate every time you start the game?

No, once should be enough, you did go into the SH4.EXE properties and uncheck read only before using the LAA thingie didn't you?.

I hadn't done that previously but when I looked, the read only option was indeed unchecked. I might try and run Windows troubleshooter to see if that works, although I don't have high hopes considering that the game has been running fine up until now.

Ok I got it to work by reloading a save just before I ended the patrol. I'll update if the problem persists.

Alright, you hit an OPS mission, but the mission should work... Where are you based at in September of 1942, and which submarine do you have?

USS Tautog (Tambor-class boat) in Western Australia (Fremantle I think.)

I got it to work by reloading a save from just before I ended the patrol and I was able to start my 6th patrol.
