Increase Morale before expeditions

[Diggs]

My ship morales are really low prior to expeditions, even with 50x the required characteristics. What is the best way to restore morale prior to expeditions? Is it with items only?

Thanks

Flagship =3 items and 2 soecialist.
Clipper 4 items and 1 specialist.

The ship you use also matters, as they contribute their own navigation and naval power stats:
Oil Tanker: Nav 0, NP 0
Schooner: Nav 20 , NP 0
Clipper: Nav 20, NP 0
Cargo Ship: Nav 20, NP 0
Note that the larger ships have more slots, so they're better than the smaller ones despite having the same base stat bonus.

Gunboat: Nav 20, NP 10
Frigate: Nav 10, NP 20
Flagship: Nav 15, NP 20
Monitor: Nav 20, NP 30

Ship of the Line: Nav 0, NP 50
Battle Cruiser: Nav 0, NP 70

Steam ships also seem to have a special attribute "steam-powered" that they can use in some expedition checks to automatically succeed. E.g. I had a battle cruiser run into a sailing ship entangled in algae and kelp with no wind blowing, and the cruiser could simply tow it out of there thanks to it being a steamer.

Great info. Thanks Tank.
