I wonder if it would be possible to re-work the entire morale system to deal with fatigue instead of morale? As in when a crew member becomes too fatigued they perform worse and eventually disappear to 'sleep'. So to keep your crew (and yourself) fresh and combat-ready, you would have to use safe periods to let your key personnel get some rest. If not, crew performance would suffer. Much like the existing morale system, except using sleep instead of cheerfulness. I know when I am at the end of an 18 hour shift I get more from 8 hours of rest than from my boss asking about my day...
Basically same idea from the OP but apply it to Captain, Chief, diesel man, gunner, torpedoman, boatswain, WO, sonarman, radioman as well.
That being said, the idea is frighteningly close to The Sims :P
