Installation:

You should install it with JSGME
Just have the winrar -auto-decompressing-exe file installing the mod into the Mod folder in your main SH4 directory.
Then enable the mod/mods

I had a problem with the install of the Fubuki, not big problem, now the same problem with Battleship. You install folder is not correct for the default path:

SH4 is not installed in "Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific"
I did not change the default path when the game was installed and the correct folder name on my computer is:
"Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific" There is no "4" in the folder name so it creates a new folder. Not a big problem for me, I just move it to the correct Mods folder, but a beginner may not know that, and will have trouble installing and it will not show up in JSGME.
Also a suggestion to rename the Readme file to PocketBattleshipreadme so we will know what it is for.
This is a pic of my Battleship:

Purple ship problem:
Did NOT happen in Fubuki 1.0
Does happen in Fubuki 1.1 and Pocket Battleship 1.0

So you can narrow it down to something that was changed from Fubuki 1.0 because it did not happen in that version. That may be a lot of changes, but it happen when you went to Fubuki 1.1 and it is still in PBS.

Here are some more notes to help you debug.

1, Unistalled Graf Spee & Realism mod, loaded german side torpedoes mission - CTD
2. Started Campaign, picked Admiral Scheer, changed port to Surabaya. I get assigned IXD2 type Uboat instead
3. Started Campaign, picked Admiral Scheer. Launch mission. Accelerate to 4096 X Time compression, when I get a radar contact I hit the - button to slow time down and I get CTD.

Regarding the early sinking, maybe reinforcing different ship parts that really dont belong there, like the periscope and so.. So they aren't so vulnerable to be "ghost flooded" by small caliber guns.. Although that is just only a bad hypothesis but it might be a start.

I think someone posted info regarding the how to make subs lot more durable.. Maybe same information could be reprocessed when adjusting this ship's durability.
