Did that reinstalled everything & it worked 1 time but the next time I did time compression & it stated abandon career after save was successful.Getting very frustrated not being able to play the game.

Post some screen shots.

Does it only do it after TC, or after a saved game?

Just for something stupid you are overlooking (ie the machine not being plugged in etc) that is causing you to die.

This isnt a CTD, its a death. There's got to be some mechanism. What's your depth. What TC did you die at? Where are you? Near shore? Minefield? Is it always the same game? Start a new career and see if it does it again. It could just be that ONE save. Try loading an earlier save.

It does it all the saves. I redid the career & it did it again

Are you playing at 100% realism?
If yes , then you can not teleport to base. You have to be the max 30km away from the harbor to dock , or literaly enter the port and dock.

There is a file in the .cfg folder :GameplaySettings.cfg

At the end of the file there are the values of the various settings.
Change one so that the total is less than 100
Save and run a patrol.
Try to teleport now.

KEEP A BACK UP OF THE ORIGINAL FILE. It is crucial.

Is this a brand new installation WITH NOTHING CHANGED in the CFG file or anywhere else?

If the answer is 'YES' then there is a serious problem here....you will more than likely have a fault based deep inside your OS that the SH3 game engine is unable to come to terms with.

You could try installing stock/vanilla SH3 and see if the problem persists.

Yep, 99% reality or less, and you can teleport to base from anywhere, 100% reality, no teleport to base.
