Crash to desktop when near convoy?

Yes it happened to me too few times.
And I don’t have a real crap system …
No other mods than Onealex ones.
I gave up recently, and re-launched my fantastic NYGM set up

(Wich is even better now)

Yes, one of the great things with NYGM is it's stability.

What did you change in your NYGM setup?

Plenty things cosmetic & eye candy… carefully avoiding to break anything from Stiebler original settings.

Could be the way you saved in the game too, I've had issues at times in the past with convoys and game saves but ever since following these save rules I haven't had a corrupt patrol in almost a year of playing SH3. Also i have two save files, one during the patrol every 24 hrs approx and one I use to save and exit to continue a patrol another day in the week and if one somehow gets corrupt then usually the other one before works.

Good practices to ensure a stable save:
1. Never save while submerged.
2. Never save around any ship/airplane within 25km.
3. Never save within 50 km of a sunken ship.
4. Never save while gramophone music is playing.
5. Never save during torpedo loading or repairs.
6. Never use Alt + TAB during a patrol.
7. Never scroll to far east into Russia in NAV map or will cause CTD (only notice this in Onealex mod)
8. Only save/exit game in NAV map or command room view.

That 2048x2048 seafloor texture mod will use up a lot of resource too for something you will rarely see unless in shallow waters. Its the reason Onealex took out the seafloor and fauna mod as it was causing fps drops etc.

Install the 4gb patch if you havent done it yet
Reducing particles to <30% worked for me, I had a problem when my torpedo hit the ships in the convoy it would crash to desktop reducing the particle density solved this problem for me
