It's while I've disengaged from the battle having captured my target and leave the combat until the "All-Clear" theme plays any attempt to save is blocked with "can't save while sailing" non-sense. It is a set condition in the program by a Y/N logic switch which can be removed to remove this condition that is causing the lock-out. The bug with sinking the second (escort) ship is a programming error in a revision of the program creating a conflict within the logic that has no action associated with a logic step. A logic flow chart, if one exists, would show a link with a blank action resulting from the Y switch trigger. Or, could simply be save overflow of the available save file limit crashes the game because of an infinite loop error... with no "timeout" step. Since it's a freeze MS gives no fault diagnostic of the critical file fault.I don't know anything about the bug with the second ship. You can't save while boarding because even if you did change the game to allow it, the saves wouldn't work properly. I'm not sure why you can't save while sailing, unless it's while there's a battle in progress, in which case again the save would probably not work properly.
