Different command techs could reduce or increase the modifier, but at least there's a base assumption.

I think that opens some big cans of worms. A different vessel is definitely a different familiarity for both Boating and Shiphandling. But TL8 Shiphandling can be used for vessels from about SM+4 to SM+14 for the largest oil tankers.
