Well despite the CTD on exit I managed to complete the scenario. I snuck in behind the Xia and maintained a distance of about 500 yards. Once I received the orders to sink the Xia I fired a torpedo set to go active after a run of 200 yards. Then bam that was the end for the Xia (see screenshots). I managed to evade the Chinese ASW efforts to successfully complete the mission.
The CTD issue seems to have disappeared once I had saved the completed mission and reloaded it, so it must have been a save game issue causing the problem in the first place.
