Never save whilst submerged
Try taking the saved game file to another drive, reboot the machine then put it back to its original location.
and/or
Add the letter 'x' after your saved game title then do the above.

Sometimes these actions help

You may have the dreaded "windspeed=0" bug, check the campaign files in the main SH3 directory. Do a search here for the particulars. I am at work now and unable to remember the file names (3) of which need to be checked and corrected this could salvage the 'bugged' saves.

Good luck!

If you are playing GWX all the 3 files need to be WindSpeed=4.000000
Campaign_scr\Lnd and Rnd.mis

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campa ign

Have you tried the suggestions in my earlier thread ?
or
Why not go back to the save before ?

OK NOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!

I went into the documents folder, sh3, saved games and changed my fastfed1 to fastfed1x

rebooted the computer, and it still didn't work, so I said screw it and just reloaded again from the base ( restarting that patrol )

half way into it I tried to save the game, now it just says saved failed.

No matter what I try to save it as.
