Since Manfred won on Wednesday, and didn't post one yesterday, or today...
Let's see if we can keep this alive...
"Hull 1, Crew 0 - is that ship naked?" (8)
Hint: "No crew, no supplies: the rentals about a Bat Robe!"

That's the problem with CCC. Sometimes the solution is so obvious but we try to think for a complex solution

Are you just posting random eight letter words again? 
No, that's not it.
Neither is it Aardvark, Aardwolf, Abaction, Abaculus, Abalones, Abampere, Abandons, Abasedly, Abashing, Abatable, Abatised, ...

Well nope... My logic was complicated chain of thoughts..
Hull 1, Crew 0 means Ship is empty.
And the question "Is the ship naked" implies its being taken down. aka Shipbreaking...aka DISMANTLE( 9 words  ) and so nearest similar word will be DISMOUNT which also means Crew went out the ship.
Honestly the logic made more sense in my head. But when I wrote it down, I am embarrassed

You're getting closer - the "ship is empty" bit is spot on.

Well well, Now I can think of many 8 letter words but I don't have a solution
Deserted or lifeless or may be Disarmed. I think there is still hope when you provide hint

Empty ship = bareboat

I believe it's more related to pole dancers and their likes 
Yet I can't find a solution to back it up. And I'm pretty sure if I'd get it right I would have forgotten about it on monday, so I don't dare posting my wild guess

Not quite, no - not sure that would be as KSS as the Lounge should be...

Is it skeleton?
Skeleton ship - also (very) naked.

Nope, but a good try!

Explanation:-
Bareboat - rent a boat with no crew etc.
The anagram clue is what got it for me.

Sorry for the delay - I had to go out.
Well done, you are up tomorrow.

Urggh? The clue you gave was obviously for CREWLESS as in Hull got one, Crew got less. (I'll be kind and not point out that the place is called Crewe ... oh, darn it!)
|
|
|
|
|
Tomorrow? I think not!
The clue will be posted on Monday, Texas time (around 1130 UTC if I've figured it out right).
At least I have a whole weekend to make one up!
