Dumping elite troops on a warship doesn't suddenly make it the best damn thing out there in the black. Allow ships to reach higher combat readiness due to repeated successes in battle, low crew losses in battles, numerous 'kills' in battles, and allow the inverse of these situations, as well as other things have a draining effect on individual ship 'morale/cr.'
Reputations for a ship as being 'unlucky or lucky.'
Unshielded, or poorly shielded ships being less popular among less experienced crews.
'Untouchable/invincible' ships with many good status effects recieve a more noticeable increase in morale.
A ship that has earned a terrible reputation as a bloody ship may have to be scrapped, due to superstitious crew.
