It depends on how you define "winning." Winning and losing are defined
by the mission (scenario) at hand and the backstory to date. Is winning
always about the total defeat of the enemy? Probably not.
John mentioned mission motivation which, I think, is a better way of
dealing with morale in a ship to ship game. We're not talking about
modeling the morale of Ship's Cook 4th Class Jones but the command
staff.
If the weaker force has a High mission motivation then I can see them
willing to take the hits. If, on the other hand, they have a low
motivation then they make take a few paint scratching hits and decide to
bail.
How popular would Admirals/Captains be today if they burned ships like
we FT players do?

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?
