Question: just for clarification, are you saing you saved the game while submerged and successfuly reloaded that savegame?

A few reloads of attempting this and I've been unable to finish the job, but I think if I hit the front it might sink it. I tried surfacing to use the deck gun, but I am in a "storm" (not really) and the KGV deck guns are ridiculous.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing consistently. I'll save at various points and if things don't go as planned, I'll reload the previous save and try again. Not much for realism but I like trying different strategies. Why, does that not normally work?

Some people have problems saving while submerged. I haven't and don't even think about it any more. It's a mystery.

By the way, welcome to SubSim Hammermill.

Many have had issues and several have a little set of tips for in game saving such as not saving near a base or not saving under water and some will advise more. It really seems to depend on nothing and seems to affect people at random and seems to be caused by some of the littlest things though.

Welcome Aboard Hammermill

I'd seriously advise you not to save whilst submerged or within a radius of approx. 50km of anything that is rendered in game such as vessels, aircraft or a land mass.
