But how would morale rules cope with situations such as the Glowworm v Hipper, Jervis Bay v Scheer, Rawalpindi V Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. The RN ships had no chance of winning, only the Glowworm got some return on her sacrifice by damaging the Hipper so she required several months dockyard repairs. So how would you model this in FT?

I'd be all for this as an add-on rule. You can get into a few hairy situations though: once morale cracks will the ship try to run away? Jump out? Surrender to the opposing side?

In a copy of ragnarok (the journal of the SFSFW; probably the only issue worth reading IMNNHO) Steve Blease wrote a very good article about striking the colours in FT, likening it to historical naval battles in which captains have struck the colours for their ship even though the damage was not as bad as the captain thought it was. just a thought.
