Thanks. Next time I get a crash I'll give it a try to see what I can see.

There's no need to look for the next time. You can see all the way back to when you installed your OS.

However...it does point to your database tweakin'.

Most of the fault navalsimengine.dll, a few fault dangerouswaters.exe, and one faults unknown...

... hmm... makes me wonder if its not something inherent to the engine that's crashing. Seems like if it was the db, then the error would be consistent everytime with a certain game actions (a launching plane, detonating torp, activated sensor, etc), but its not... 50% of games I can complete without a hitch, the other 50% is crash and burn.

ahh the wonders of windows programming.

You need to look at the FAQ on SCS forum website. It shows you to post your system specs, along with the error. If you see the navalsimengine.dll and dangeruoswaters.exe, you should be able to post the complete error. They will need the fault address. You could even take a screenshot of your error and post it here.
