SH3 is pretty finicky when it comes to saving. Some people have problems, others not so much, but here are the general rules to follow when saving:

Save when surfaced only
Don't save until 50k from port
Don't save near convoys

So basically just try to be clear of everything and anything, while surfaced, b4 you save, just to be on the safe side.

Had the game a few days, I've had both saves (first patrol each) disappear from the game

Basically you're saying unless I do a full patrol I run the risk of losing my saves? This is a pretty awful bug.

go into \SH3\data\cfg\Careers\your_career\
open Careers.cfg & Careers_0.cfg somewere in the bottom check line "Finished=false" , must be "false", not "true" , then check Patrols.cfg & Patrols_0.cfg , for your last patrol, the line "HullIntegrity=100.000000" , must be "100.000000" , not "0.000000" works fine.

Have only lost a few saves.

It's a big ocean, I think you will be ok to safely save your game. That's until you get further into the game and either have planes bombing the crap out of you, or DDs deptcharging your hull straight to hell

By the way have fun
