I have on occasion lost a ship in battle without noticing. You'd think the green message would be enough but sometimes when I'm really focused on a fight I miss the notification completely. Then, on the post battle screen, I don't even check the recovery option and lose a ship forever when I could have easily recovered it.

Would it possible for when our own ships are recoverable to make that option either a different color or have something like a [!] to indicate that? I could also see a pop-up for when leaving the post battle screen, something like "There is a/are still [player name]'s ship/ships waiting to be recovered. Continue and discard?".

Seconded. This doesn't happen to me often, but it's frustrating when it does.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.
