Bear in mind that if you save with other ships nearby, or if submerged very odd things can happen.

This phenomena usually occurs when you save whilst submerged or within 50km of port, or when you add something like a mod mid patrol

Most of the times I have had it happen I was out in the middle of the atlantic on the surface. Perhaps there was a ship nearby that I had not detected because I was on the surface.

And all these Save Bugs are in the stock version.

There is another bug that rewrites all the info in all your careers to have most of the info of the first career, that has also been in since stock.

There is also the bug where the game stops seeing your saves. I think this is actually several bugs with the same result, only one of which can be fixed by cutting and pasting your careers folder back and forth between your desktop.

Basically saving at any time other than the end of the mission, was extremely poorly tested.
