the mission is a pre-war mission out of Cavite with very little ship action from any navy or merchant marine.
it seems as if the largest file being saved is the SaveFile.rep and it continues to grow until it reaches 909 MB and then...CTD.
since the mission has very little ship interaction and no attacks what is being saved in this file that takes up so much memory? ...

P.S. i traced the source of the problem to a modified Narwhal.Sim file change. i had bumped the EPropulsion speed from 8.75 to 9 kts and that caused the app to create these huge savefolders, tickling 1 GB.
i have performed this manner of change with other modsets in the past and the only change that was noticed was that my sub went a bit faster underwater.
took me all day to find this and i still cannot explain it. it is what it is, i suppose. another example of fine programming-and-design from UBI.
The sim and cfg file figures should match... plus, if you had instituted the change after starting a career, it might cause issues, since the game runs a combination of Save folder and game folder for the Player's boat... most, but not all of it is in the Save folder... ??
- other than that, who know?? besides, "an SH4" thang...
