How about:
1st row totals 10% of ship original cost, 2nd row  20%, 3rd row 30%,
4th row 40%.  You can, if you like, divide that again by hull boxes,
so a ship with 5 hull in the first row would cost 2% to repair if it
lost 1 box.  A ship which has lost all its hull isn't necessarily
vaporized, just not worth repairing.

Maintenance:
Cost is .5% per month for the first 5 years, 1% per month for ships
age 6 to 15, 1.5% from 16 to 25, and so forth.	You'd have incentive
to scrap your ships around 25-30 years old.
There's no point bothering with this in a short campaign where you
assume everything is build the day before the campaign begins.	I
think you should (to be realistic) start the campaign with 20 years'
worth of ships and perhaps a bit lower monthly income.
