I checked my Gato file and it isn't anything like that one. Are you using 1.4 or 1.5 Clay?
I see mistakes with the numbers but the dates are kind of strange too, did you change them?

But for the numbers:
Look at the Stern bunker, you want 6 so 'capacity=6' good.
Now Default1 you have MK14=6 good.
Now Default2 you have MK14=4 and MK18=3 That's makes 7...too many,change one.
Now Default3 you have MK14=3 and MK18=4 That's 7 get rid of one.
Now Default4 you have MK14=2 and MK18=4 and MK27=1 that's 7. too many.

It is the same with the forward torpedo room, 2,3,and4 all have 13 torpedos. I don't know if that's what is causing the crash or if the game ignores the extra. I'm new at this modding myself.
Try changing them and if you still have a problem it is probably in the .sim with S3D and I could go in and set mine to 6 and 12 and if it works, I could post screen shots of what it should look like.
