The ships are understaffed (see the discussion here about people having 16+ hours of duty per 24 hours) and under maintained.

Add crew and duty hours would go down. Reduce hours of operations and maintenance would be better. More crew obviously costs more. Reducing hours of operation means a smaller mission or more ships.
