4. Never save while gramophone music is playing.
5. Never save during torpedo loading or repairs.
6. Never use Alt + TAB during a patrol.
7. Only save/exit game in NAV map or command room view.
What I do is save every 24hrs of in-game time and also have two separate save files for the same career in case latest save was corrupt some how. Example - save with U-203 and continue to save on that file when your in your patrol but when you do a save and exit then name it U-203 ALT. Just load the U-203 ALT (or whatever you name it) when you start back up as its the latest save. Scripted events can cause things like that in SH3 so its good to be prepared.

To add to that, never... EVER... overwrite an old save.
In addition, wait 3 minutes minimum (5, I feel, is better) making sure to do a check around to ensure no ships/aircraft are about, save then wait again same amount of time... after coming out of high time compression.
